Thomas Hoenig served as President of the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City from 1991 to 2011. He was the first president to rise through the ranks of the organization and became well known for his views on the "too big to fail" issue and his dissenting votes on the Federal Open Market Committee in 2010. In the aftermath of the 2007 recession, Hoenig was thrust upon a national stage as he spoke out frequently about the financial crisis and its causes, as well as the response to the crisis in terms of both regulatory changes and monetary policy. He cast the lone dissenting vote against the FOMC’s easy money policies at each of the eight FOMC meetings in 2010 and was troubled by the FOMC’s stated promise of keeping the federal fund rates at a historic low for “an extended period.” Following his retirement from the Bank in 2011, Hoenig served as Vice Chairman of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
