WELCOME

Thank you for joining us for the 2021 MoAF Gala: A Celebration of our Nation’s Financial Heritage. Tonight, we are delighted to recognize two financial leaders for their significant achievements in the public and private sectors. We honor Roger W. Ferguson, Jr. with the Whitehead Award for Distinguished Public Service and Financial Leadership for his exemplary leadership as President and CEO of TIAA and former Vice Chairman of the Board of Governors of the US Federal Reserve System.

We also honor Brian Moynihan as recipient of the Schwab Financial Innovation Award, which recognizes individuals who have transformed the financial services industry and demonstrated outstanding achievement in advancing entrepreneurship and free enterprise. As Chairman and CEO of Bank of America, Brian has innovated and transformed Bank of America with a focus on superior technology that represents an essential differentiating factor in propelling the bank ahead of the curve.

This year we also recognize Professor Richard Sylla with a Special Recognition of Service presentation for 30 years of service to the Museum, including a decade as Chairman of the Board of Trustees. As a leading scholar in the field of financial history and a trusted advisor to the Board and staff, Dick’s contributions to the Museum have been invaluable.

While 2020 was a difficult year in so many ways, the Museum rose to the challenge by quickly moving its public and educational programs to a virtual format and launching timely exhibits on its website and social media channels. In the pages of this journal, you will learn more about our collections and exhibits; our expansive educational programming; our highly regarded magazine, Financial History; and our robust calendar of events and programs.

We recognize with appreciation our eminent Gala co-chairs and extend a sincere thank you to all those supporting the Museum’s efforts to enhance the nation’s financial awareness. We deeply appreciate your contribution toward making tonight a great success, and we hope to see you in person next year.

THE WHITEHEAD AWARD

John Whitehead announced the creation of the Whitehead Award for Distinguished Public Service and Financial Leadership at the Museum’s Inaugural Gala in 2008. Mr. Whitehead’s career characterized the dual dedication to advancing the financial world and the world of public service.

Highly esteemed for his own dedication to excellence, and his numerous contributions to our society, Mr. Whitehead introduced this award to pay tribute to others who have similarly demonstrated their professional commitment to a culture of service and have achieved distinction in both the public and private sectors.

The Museum has been privileged to recognize the following outstanding leaders in finance with the Whitehead Award in previous years: Paul Volcker (2009), William Donaldson (2010), Peter Peterson (2011), Felix Rohatyn (2012), William Harrison (2013), Duncan Niederauer (2014), David Rubenstein (2015), Robert Rubin (2016), Lawrence Summers (2017) Timothy Geithner (2018), Janet Yellen (2019) and James Gorman (2020).

guaranteed lifetime income solutions designed to improve retirement outcomes for millions of Americans.

He has campaigned prominently for broad access to financial advice and planning resources, pushed corporate boards to become more diverse and published widely on the impact of systemic inequities on the economy, health and education.

THE SCHWAB FINANCIAL INNOVATION AWARD

Since Alexander Hamilton became the nation’s first Secretary of the Treasury in 1789, financial innovation has been a cornerstone of the American economy. He created new financial ideas and products, enhanced existing ones and built the foundation of a sustainable financial system that endures to this day. These innovations included assumption of the state and national debts left over from the Revolutionary War;

the creation of a Treasury bond market; the use of the dollar as a convertible currency; and the establishment of a national central bank. When Hamilton entered office, American credit was at junk status. At the time of his retirement six years later, the nation’s credit was stellar.

The nation responded by chartering banks and other business corporations that allowed savers and users of capital to freely interact. Then exchanges were created, as private traders and investors formed securities markets and stock exchanges to provide liquidity for the new government bonds and corporate shares. For more than two centuries since Hamilton’s era, others have added vitality to our financial system by introducing cutting-edge innovations in the form of new institutions, new markets and new financial instruments.

In 2016, the Museum of American Finance introduced the Financial Innovation Award, recognizing pioneering individuals who, in our own time, have kept this tradition alive and moving forward. Charles Schwab was the inaugural honoree and has generously lent his name to the award. The Museum has recognized Joe Ricketts (2017), Ken Griffin (2018), Laurence D. Fink (2019) and Dan Schulman (2020) with this award.

BRIAN MOYNIHAN2021 RECIPIENT OF THE SCHWAB FINANCIAL INNOVATION AWARD

MUSEUM OF AMERICAN FINANCE

Finance impacts everyone. As a socially-relevant organization, the Museum of American Finance (MoAF) seeks to improve understanding of the influence of financial institutions and capital markets on the US and global economies, and on individuals’ lives. The nation’s only independent museum dedicated to finance and financial history educates the public through exhibits, financial literacy programs and public events. The Museum seeks to empower individuals of all backgrounds to strive toward financial independence, while encouraging curiosity and discovery. The Museum, an affiliate of the Smithsonian Institution, was founded in 1989.

On March 5, 2020, the Museum opened “Ebb & Flow: Tapping into the History of New York City’s Water,” an exhibition in partnership with the NYC Municipal Archives. Later that month, when in-person exhibits closed due to the pandemic, the Museum quickly pivoted to offer its content in a virtual format.

On May 8, the Museum posted the first video in its eight-part “Out of the Vault” series, exploring some of the most important objects and documents from its permanent collection. And in June, the Museum launched “Pandemics & Epidemics: Financial and Economic Effects,” an online exhibit accompanied by a cover story in Financial History magazine and lunchtime event with co-curator, Dr. Richard Sylla.

Most recently, the Museum and its collection digitization partner, Heritage Werks, provided historical consulting for the Nasdaq’s 50th anniversary virtual exhibit, which launched on February 8, 2021.

PROGRAMMING & OUTREACH

Financial education is at the heart of the Museum’s mission, and more than 106,000 students have participated in its education programs since 2009. A highlight of the Museum’s educational initiatives is the Museum Finance Academy (MFA), a unique personal finance certificate course offered free of charge to high school juniors and seniors. The program – which in 2020 moved to an online format

and was supported by Con Edison – provides a foundation in personal finance along with the ability to earn partial college scholarships.

The Museum also offers a robust series of more than 30 public events per year, including talks, panel discussions, film screenings, conferences and walking tours. Among the distinguished participants are Nobel laureates and industry leaders, as well as award-winning authors. Notable speakers from previous years include: Sheila Bair, Stacey Cunningham, Aswath Damodaran, Steve Forbes, James Grant, Bob Kerrey, Seth Klarman, Andrew Lo, Carol Loomis, Howard Marks, Dan Schulman, Joseph Stiglitz, Larry Summers and Cameron & Tyler Winklevoss. Panel discussions have addressed the topics of “Corporate Sustainability,” “Democratizing Finance,” “The Blockchain and the Future of Everything” and “Restoring American Economic Dynamism.”

In Spring 2020, the Museum shifted its programming to a Zoom format, leading to an expanded number of events and a four-fold increase in attendance.

In the past year, featured speakers included Howard W. Buffett, Joseph Calandro, Jr., Lawrence Cunningham, JC de Swaan, Ed Freeman, Shennette Garrett-Scott, Tim Geithner, Joel Greenblatt, Bruce Greenwald, Bob Pisani, Nicholas Sargen and Robert Shiller, among others. Many of the Museum’s programs are presented in partnership with the Fordham University Gabelli Center for Global Security Analysis.

COLLECTIONS & PUBLICATIONS

As part of its mission to preserve and present the history and practice of finance in the United States, the Museum actively collects important documents and artifacts related to the capital markets, money, banking and free enterprise.
