Joan Woodward

Woodward on Washington

Monday General Session | 4:00 PM

Drawing on her experience on Capitol Hill and Wall Street, Joan Woodward, Executive VP of Public Policy at Travelers, will share her economic, public policy and political outlook in this data-driven analytical presentation. What do higher interest rates, coupled with closely watched inflation mean for your business and what are the odds for a U.S. recession next year? What pressing challenges might Congress and the White house face in 2025? Joan will explore these issues, and what the 2024 elections may mean for insurance, tax policy, and the broader economy.
