The NEAC is convened by Boston Fed President Eric Rosengren and includes senior leaders of small- to mid-size businesses throughout New England. Members advise the bank about underlying trends in the economy as viewed through the prisms of their own companies and respective industries.

“I am pleased to welcome Michael to the advisory council,” said Rosengren. “The conversations we have at the NEAC meetings are among the many ways the Boston Fed stays connected to the business community and helps inform the perspectives that I share when I attend the Federal Open Market Committee meetings in Washington.”

A second-generation owner of AccuRounds, Tamasi has been working in the family business since 1985. In January 2010, he was appointed to the Massachusetts STEM Advisory Council by Governor Deval Patrick. Tamasi serves on the executive committee for the MA Advanced Manufacturing Collaborative, serving as co-chair of the “promoting manufacturing” working group. He also sits on the advisory board for the Mechanical Engineering Department at the University of New Hampshire.

NEAC members rotate every two to three years and attend quarterly meetings at the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston. In spirited roundtable discussions, NEAC members share perspectives on a range of business conditions, including revenue forecasts, employment practices, capital spending, and access to credit, among other issues. The next meeting of the NEAC will be held on September 3.
