The Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta’s board of directors has initiated a search for the Bank’s next president and chief executive officer. The role oversees all Atlanta Fed activities, including economic research and payment services, and includes membership on the Federal Open Market Committee. Gregory A. Haile, chair of the Atlanta Fed board, will chair the search committee, made up of the Bank’s six Class B and C directors. The committee will retain an executive search firm and aims to identify candidates with meaningful ties to the Sixth Federal Reserve District, interview top candidates, and submit a finalist to the Federal Reserve Board of Governors; the Class B and C directors then formally appoint the president, subject to Board of Governors approval. The Bank also plans to invite public input while preserving candidate confidentiality. Raphael W. Bostic previously announced his intention to retire at the end of his current term. If a successor is not appointed by February 28, 2026, first vice president and chief operating officer Cheryl Venable will assume the duties of president on an interim basis.
