ODU Alumna Betsy Duke Receives 2010 Economic Impact Award

Federal Reserve Board member and Old Dominion University alumna Betsy Duke received the Economics Club of Hampton Roads' third annual Economic Impact Award at a dinner ceremony Thursday, Feb. 18.

Duke was nominated to the Fed by President George W. Bush and took office on Aug. 5, 2008.

The Economics Club of Hampton Roads established the Economic Impact Award in 2008 to recognize outstanding practitioners of sound economic and financial policy, as well as the inextricable ties among our local, national and international economies. The major criterion for the award is that the honoree's economic/financial impact be wide-ranging and perceived by all to be for the common good.
