Jim Millstein Talk: "The Great Panic of 2008 and its Aftermath"

Former Village Board member Jim Millstein to Discuss "The Great Panic of 2008 and its Aftermath" on April 3

For an inside look at AIG and the financial panic of 2008, don’t miss former Larchmont resident and Village Board member Jim Millstein who will speak on Sunday, April 3, at 4 pm in the Village Center behind the Library. As Chief Restructuring Officer of the U.S. Department of the Treasury, Jim faced the daunting task of tackling the wreckage of American International Group when he went to Washington in the summer of 2009. Amply armed with long experience as a bankruptcy lawyer, the former head of Lazard’s restructuring practice oversaw a transformation of AIG that has paved the way for the government’s exit, potentially at a huge profit. As New York state banking superintendent Richard Neiman put it, "Jim has brought a strong set of skills that has well served the taxpayer and public."

This event is sponsored by the Friends of the Larchmont Library and is free and open to the public. Come early for refreshments and bring your friends!  The Larchmont Library and Village Center are located at 121 Larchmont Avenue.
