It’s officially “Chairman” Kevin Warsh, not “chair.”\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Federal Reserve website now lists Warsh as “chairman,” not “chair,” reversing the past 12 years when his predecessors Janet Yellen and Jerome Powell both chose to be called “chair.”<\/p>\n

Before Yellen, the term “chairman” was used exclusively.<\/p>\n

No law or regulation governs what a chair is called, leaving it up to personal preference. The Federal Reserve Act references “chairman” of the Board of Governors and “vice chairman.” It even names “vice chairman of supervision,” a position not created until the 2010 Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.<\/p>\n

The Fed is a body created by Congress, and in 2021, under the leadership of then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, the House adopted gender neutral language for its official proceedings. It changed “chairman” to “chair,” “seamen” to “seafarers,” and gender-specific language such as “daughter” and “sister” to “child” and “sibling.”<\/p>\n

The current House adopted that same gender-neutral language in its rules package. But Republicans have been critical of such changes and the broader diversity, equity and inclusion movement. On House individual and committee websites, which are not governed by the House rules, the word “chairman” looks to be used almost exclusively. The same is true for the Senate. So Chairman Warsh will testify before Chairman Tim Scott in the Senate and Chairman French Hill in the House when he does his semi-annual testimony.<\/p>\n
