The Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis has appointed Jamie Anderson, vice president of I.F. Anderson Farms Inc. in Lonoke, to its Agribusiness Industry Council.
The St. Louis Fed created four district industry councils in 2006, each designed to provide important feedback about economic conditions in key sectors. The members’ observations — along with the economic data developed through the Federal Reserve Board's Beige Book and meetings of the Reserve Bank’s board of directors — help ensure conditions at smaller independent businesses are represented in monetary policy deliberations in Washington.
Each council is supported by one of the St. Louis Fed’s four offices:
- St. Louis (real estate)
- Little Rock (agribusiness)
- Louisville, Kentucky (health care)
- Memphis (transportation)
The councils meet twice a year.
