Barney Frank to Speak at 2016 Legal Seminar

Barney Frank, who served as a U.S. Congressman (D-MA) from 1981–2013 and was coauthor of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010, will speak at NOLHGA’s 2016 Legal Seminar, which will be held at the Mayflower Hotel in Washington, D.C., in July.

Rep. Frank chaired the House Financial Services Committee from 2007–2011, where he was instrumental in crafting the short-term $700 billion rescue plan in response to the mortgage crisis and adopting a sweeping set of financial regulations aimed at preventing a recurrence. He is the author of two books--Speaking Frankly (1992) and Frank: From the Great Society to Same Sex Marriage (2015)--and is the subject of the 2014 documentary Compared to What: The Improbable Journey of Barney Frank.

NOLHGA’s 2016 Legal Seminar will be held on July 21–22, with an MPC meeting on July 19–20. The Legal Seminar website, which will feature online registration and other meeting information, should go live in the next few weeks.
