Liquidity Contingency Planning and Risk Mitigation (Risk Management):  Contingency planning and preparation are critical to establish readiness for stressed liquidity events.  This presentation will discuss the key components of effective planning and risk mitigation in the context of liquidity to underscore the importance preparation.
