About the EIF

The Education and Industry Forum on Financial Services Culture (EIF) comprises business school professors and leaders from financial services firms who are committed to promoting the development of an agile, adaptable, and ethical future workforce in the financial services industry. The EIF provides a regular opportunity to identify challenges faced by the industry with regard to culture, behavior, and ethics, and to develop collaborative solutions to address them. The EIF is a private-sector voluntary membership group that is sponsored by, but is not part of, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. See the charter and antitrust guidelines

For more on the reform of culture and behavior in the financial services industry, see New York Fed's Governance & Culture Reform.
