STACKHOUSE As a recently retired executive vice president of the Federal Reserve, I am exploring opportunities to leverage the skills and talents I gained during my 32-year career with the U.S. central bank. My career at the Federal Reserve began in Kansas City in 1980 as a new college graduate. I was hired as a bank and examiner for the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City. I quickly had the opportunity to put my skills to the test by addressing banking crises in energy, agriculture, and real estate. Workload demands required an innovative approach to work tasks, and my creativity allowed me to quickly advance to an officer position. By 1993, I was named Senior Vice President, the first woman to serve at this level at that bank. In 1995, my family relocated to Minnesota to support my husband’s career and allow us to better find a work/life balance. I chose to “stay at home” with my two young children. During that time, I became extensively involved in community volunteer work, especially with the city of Eagan, MN. I served on the city’s Planning Commission, Economic Development Commission, and Arts Council. I led both a hotel and small business needs study for the city in a volunteer capacity. In 2000, I returned to the workforce at the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis, serving as Vice President of Credit Risk Management and Community Development. The connections built during my 15-year tenure at the Kansas City Fed were instrumental in facilitating my return to the Federal Reserve, despite a five-year absence from the workforce. In 2002, I was invited by William Poole, then president of the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis, to join the St. Louis Fed as senior vice president and managing officer of supervision and credit. Our family made this move, and I joined the St. Louis Fed in October 2002, overseeing a staff of 160 bank examiners and analysts. My term at the St. Louis Fed was exceptional, allowing me to continue to grow personally and professionally. Highlights include: 2 • I was in a meeting at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York on September 11, 2001. The crisis of the day allowed me to understand the deep workings of the Federal Reserve as we calmed financial markets and ensured the stability of the financial system. • I was actively involved in the many challenges presented by the financial crisis of 2007-2009. Initially, those challenges involved massive extensions of credit to financial institutions to address liquidity emergencies. From there, we executed the Troubled Asset Relief Program for the U.S Treasury. After that, we dealt with the many bank failures that occurred, to ensure a seamless transition for depositors. • During the financial crisis, it was clear to me that our classroom-based education programs for bank examiners were inflexible and not sufficient to address the rapidly changing banking environment and workforce. As a stop- gap, I conceived and introduced a national Federal Reserve webinar program called “Rapid Response” to bring information on emerging issues to staff regardless of their location. The program, thought to be temporary, became an important, permanent component of examiner education. Each of the over 1,000 sessions has been recorded, tagged, and archived for knowledge management purposes. I also proposed a modernization of our traditional community bank examiner commissioning programs, to ensure that content was built on well-defined learning objectives. The proposal was approved by a group of peers across the country, and we began hiring instructional designers and project managers to execute the very significant task of transforming a 900-hour classroom-based curriculum. The modernization took four years to complete, largely due to resource constraints and technology challenges. However, once complete, the full investment was returned in less than five-years simply from travel savings. Subsequently, we proposed and built a 400-hour examiner commissioning program for supervisors of large financial institutions. A modernization of our 400-hour consumer compliance examiner commissioning program will be completed in 2020. • While not an educator by training, my experience with instructional staff has allowed me to parlay my skills into banker education. The Federal Reserve webinar education program for bankers, called “Ask the Fed,” focuses on topics that ease the regulatory burden faced by banks. Over 26,000 bankers 3 have registered for the program. I moderated the program and ensured that all content was relevant for the audience. • Public speaking became an important component of my job following the financial crisis, with over 60 public speeches each year during the peak years of the crisis. As the crisis ebbed, I frequently addressed other banking and financial market issues through speeches, media interviews, and blogs. I was a guest lecturer at Washington University at least two times a year, and at other colleges and universities on a periodic basis. While at the St. Louis Fed, my husband and I decided to move to Fort Collins. I commuted to St. Louis for over four years because of my love for my job. In 2019, I informed President Jim Bullard that I planned to retire in early 2020. My last day at the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis was February 28, 2020. It was difficult to leave my high quality, motivated staff, which totaled over 360 individuals at the time I left. Although retired from the St. Louis Fed, I continue to have a passion to grow and share my knowledge. I am exploring several board positions and will also evaluate non-profit volunteer options. JULIE L. STACKHOUSE PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT • FEDERAL RESERVE BANK OF ST. LOUIS • 2002 – FEBRUARY 2020 Until retirement in 2020 and permanent relocation to Colorado, I was executive vice president and managing officer of Supervision, Credit, Community Development and Learning Innovation, with responsibility for 360 staff members located across the country. As Executive Vice President, I served as the officer in charge of supervision, responsible for the examination of 130 state member banks and 500 bank holding companies located in the 8th Federal Reserve District. My responsibilities also included administration of the District’s discount window function as well as outreach activities in support of low-and-moderate income communities. I was also responsible for leading Federal Reserve business line learning and development functions, including the development, delivery and maintenance of three examiner commissioning programs. Other activities included frequent public speaking.

I have been working a special education paraprofessional for three years and have developed a passion for helping and advocating for individuals with disabilities.

Yes No If yes, please share your experience: List any abilities, skills, certificates, specialized training, or interests you have which are applicable to this board or commission: Briefly explain what you believe are the three most important issues facing this board or commission, and how do you believe this board or commission should address each issue? 1) Housing. Housing options for individuals with disabilities are limited and far too expensive. They need to have fair access to housing. I would like to see an area of the city designated to subsidized housing that is also designed specifically for people with disabilities. It makes sense to build housing units together that already have items like roll in showers and ramps and grab bars. Subsidizing the units would also help ensure that they are accessible to individuals with disabilities. 2) Public transportation. We should include a seat and/or platform at all bus stops for the ramps to ensure that everyone is able to have access to our buses. Dial-A-Ride should expand its range so that more people have the chance to utilize its services 3) Complaints. I would like for the city to be more proactive about finding and examining issues around individuals with disabilities. If we know about issues before complaints about those issues come in, we have more time to brainstorm effective and cost-efficient solutions. Maybe that means sending out surveys or evaluation teams.

Are you currently serving on a City board or commission? Yes No If so, which one? Why do you want to become a member of this particular board or commission? As a member of the community who works in old town as well as attends CSU, I am consistently surrounded by parking challenges. I find myself wanting to take more time to be engaged in my community and add my voice to the conversation. Have you attended a meeting of the board or commission you are applying to or talked to anyone currently on the board? Yes No If yes, please share your experience: I attended a meeting where quorum was not met, therefore there was little business attended to. It was more of a session dedicated to talking about the future of the board as well as some discussion on the 2020 work plan. It was an interesting List any abilities, skills, certificates, specialized training, or interests you have which are applicable to this board or commission: Training in the Public Achievement Model of TeachingManaged a team of employees and taught a classroom of middle schoolersAs someone who works in both old town and CSU, I experience difficulty parking regularly so I am attuned to the frustration.I am a proficient public speaker and communicator. Briefly explain what you believe are the three most important issues facing this board or commission, and how do you believe this board or commission should address each issue? 1) A more abstract issue that I believe this and any board faces is public awareness and overall relevance. As with any public initiative or goal it is important to create and maintain channels off communication to members of the public to increase the efficacy of those goals. The public make up the constituency of the city council, the boards, and any other city personnel, thus there should be significant efforts made to reaching and including the public in our community goals. Active and inclusive communication between all community stakeholders and officials is a must. Easier said than done. 2) As Fort Collins continues to grow, traffic and parking problems will subsequently expand. Continually updating our parking infrastructure and systems to meet the demands of this growth is important to a healthy semi-urban center. The board must also anticipate future needs while maintaining the interest of businesses in old town and other parking challenged areas and keep in mind the wider public's needs. Instituting new parking systems involving payment and technology should be considered by the board as potential solutions to the growing parking demand as well as opportunities for revenues. 3) The image of a town or city is significantly impacted by parking, therefore, the parking commission has an extremely important part to play in Fort Collins' image. Certain cities in the U.S. are known for poor parking, and as a result, important opportunities and revenues are lost. The Parking Advisory Board and city staff should be proactive in researching and anticipating the parking needs of the city to maintain our overall image. It may sound farfetched on its surface, but there are many day trips and opportunities I change due to parking headaches in Denver or Boulder for example.
