Kohn was appointed to the board of governors of the Federal Reserve System in August 2002 for a full term ending Jan. 31, 2016. In June 2006, he was sworn in as vice chairman of the board for a four-year term.

Before becoming a member of the board, Kohn served on its staff as adviser to the Board for Monetary Policy, secretary of the Federal Open Market Committee, director of the Division of Monetary Affairs, and deputy staff director for monetary and financial policy. He also held several positions in the board's Division of Research and Statistics. Kohn received a doctorate in economics from the University of Michigan in 1971.

The Hutchinson Lecture series, which is sponsored by the Department of Economics in UD's Alfred Lerner College of Business and Economics, was established in 1990 to honor the distinguished academic career of the late Harry D. Hutchinson, a professor of economics who taught at UD from 1959-89.

Hutchinson received his doctorate in economics from the University of Michigan and worked at UD until his retirement. His career was distinguished by excellence in teaching and scholarship and his textbook, Money, Banking & The U.S. Economy, was the foundation for many students' introduction to financial institutions. Hutchinson died on July 28, 2005.
