Jeffrey Schmid, the new president and CEO of the Kansas City Fed. The Kansas City Federal Reserve is about to get a new leader as the inflation-fighting central bank plots its course ahead. Schmid will serve the remainder of George's five-year term helming the Kansas City Fed, which will take him to Feb. 28, 2026. Interestingly, he arrives at the Fed just before the Kansas City district hosts its annual Jackson Hole summit, which this year will run from Aug. 24-26. The retreat features a keynote address from the Fed chair and often is pivotal in laying out policy strategy.
