The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) charters, regulates and supervises all national banks. It also supervises the federal branches and agencies of foreign banks. Headquartered in Washington, D.C., the OCC has four district offices and an office in London to supervise the international activities of national banks.

Wentzler is in charge of economic and financial analysis of potential risks to the banking system and the development of risk models to serve as early warning tools for such risks.

Wentzler will be joined by Michael Farr, president of Farr, Miller & Washington, a portfolio management firm in Washington, D.C., and a leading financial analyst and strategist seen regularly on CNBC and quoted in the Wall Street Journal, Forbes, and Fortune; and Knight Kiplinger, editor in chief of Kiplinger Washington Editors and one of America's most respected economic journalists and business forecasters who is a frequent guest on national radio and television networks, including CNBC, Fox, CNN, and NPR.

The annual event, hosted by Lyons Companies and the University of Delaware Center for Economic Education and Entrepreneurship, will begin at 8:30 a.m. Participants include business and community leaders, educators and students.

The speakers will make their presentations and engage in a discussion moderated by James B. O'Neill, University of Delaware professor of economics and director of the Center for Economic Education and Entrepreneurship in the Lerner College of Business and Economics. Following the discussion, the speakers will take questions from the audience.

“Given the challenges that we were facing in 2009, we look forward to this session giving us both an appraisal and a forecast of what to expect in 2010,” O'Neill said.

There is no charge to attend, but seating is limited and reservations are required. To register, visit this Web site. For more information about the event, contact [seminars@lyonsinsurance.com].
