What Can Past NYC Crises Teach Us For Recovery?

Northeast Women in Public Finance invites you to join in this timely Zoom panel!

Our four panelists will give their respective in-depth historical perspectives on what can be learned from past New York City crises (despite different causal factors) in order to effectively recover from the effects of the pandemic. Both Dick Ravitch and Peter Goldmark have direct experience in past crises and can offer first hand knowledge of what it will take for the City to recover. Amy Laskey and Nick Samuels can give us the rating agency perspective on what it will take to maintain and improve the City’s creditworthiness. Freda Johnson will moderate.
