DESCRIPTION:\nMEMBERS MAY REGISTER USING THIS LINK:  [Register here](https://lp.constantcontactpages.com/ev/reg/6tt2wmq)\n \nWhen elected officials criticize the Federal Reserve, one often hears about the Fed’s traditional “independence” from politics. While that tradition stretches back several decades, the Fed has not always been so independent. Moreover, the Fed’s independence has never been comprehensive because it was created by Congress and is a part of the administration. How independent is the Fed in reality and why does it matter? Will the Fed’s independence come under threat? How does that affect the outlook for monetary policy?\n          \nWillow Oaks Country Club\n 6228 Forest Hill Ave, Richmond, VA 23225\n[View on
