First Community Bank is proud to serve as the presenting sponsor of the Harrison Regional Chamber of Commerce’s upcoming Breakfast with the Fed, providing local business and community leaders with direct access to timely economic insights from the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis.
The event will be held Tuesday, August 18, from 7:30 to 9:00 a.m. at the Signature Tower Community Room in downtown Harrison. The program will feature Matuschka Lindo Briggs, senior vice president and regional executive of the Little Rock Branch of the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis, and Charles S. Gascon, economist and assistant vice president with the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis. Together, they will provide an overview of current economic conditions, discuss trends affecting businesses across Arkansas and the Eighth Federal Reserve District, and offer insights into the regional and national economy.
As part of its ongoing commitment to strengthening the communities it serves, First Community Bank is sponsoring the event to help provide local business owners, employers and civic leaders with valuable information to support informed decision-making.
“Strong communities are built on strong relationships and informed leadership,” said Tabitha Roberts, community president for First Community Bank’s Harrison region. “We’re honored to partner with the Harrison Regional Chamber of Commerce to bring Federal Reserve representatives, including respected economists and other experts, to Harrison. Events like Breakfast with the Fed give our local businesses access to valuable economic perspectives while creating opportunities for meaningful conversations about the future of our region.”
Breakfast with the Fed is held semiannually and offers attendees a unique opportunity to hear directly from Federal Reserve leadership on economic conditions impacting Arkansas businesses and communities. The event also provides time for networking among local business professionals and community leaders.
“First Community Bank believes investing in our communities means investing in the people and businesses that drive them forward,” Roberts said. “We’re proud to support programs that encourage economic growth, strengthen local partnerships and provide resources that help our region continue to thrive.”
The event is hosted by the Harrison Regional Chamber of Commerce and is open to registered attendees. Registration information is available through the Harrison Regional Chamber of Commerce at www.harrison-chamber.com.
