National AP Economics Teachers Conference
Every other year since 1997, Powell has offered this dynamic program, bringing teachers the tools they need to improve student performances on Advanced Placement Microeconomics and Macroeconomics exams. Since 1999, this conference has been co-sponsored by the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond.
Educators attending the AP Conference leave armed with strategies to become more effective economic educators. This national conference also offers a forum for networking with other AP teachers from across the country, as well as outstanding keynote speakers. Keynote speakers at the past conferences have included Al Broaddus, Edward Gramlich, Gregory Mankiw, Jeffrey Lacker, Benjamin Bernanke and Nobel Laureate Vernon Smith.
