The Board Lists Ten Fed Speaking Events This Month. All Ten Are Board Members.
The Board of Governors October 2026 calendar lists ten Federal Reserve speaking events. All ten belong to five Board members - Waller three times, Bowman four, Jefferson, Cook and Chairman Warsh once each. Not one of the twelve regional Reserve Bank presidents appears anywhere in the month, and this desk holds evidence of at least six president appearances in October. Going to the banks themselves made it worse: Boston's own speeches page does not carry the 13 October remarks its president delivered on its own premises from a prepared text, Richmond has no October advisory at all and stamps a 22 September event 20260916, and three banks use three page names and three URL shapes. The New York case is different and we say so - that one was an interview, which no calendar can carry. Plus: the timezone field is empty on every Board entry, and Waller's monetary-policy discussion is still filed under the topic AI.
