Managing Director, Legislative and Regulatory Affairs
Charles Schwab & Co.
This special event will be live and at the Orinda Country Club
Join Schwab’s Washington insider, Michael Townsend, for an entertaining and informative discussion on the intersection between policy, politics, the economy and the markets. Mike will provide his perspective on a polarized Washington and the highly-anticipated 2024 election. He’ll discuss the latest developments on Capitol Hill, the looming fight over tax reform, Fed policy and key regulatory proposals that will directly impact advisers. Mike’s ability to cut through the noise and nonsense of Washington helps investors and advisers understand which issues really impact the markets – and your portfolios.
