About the Speaker

In 2015, Dr. Thomas J. Cunningham became the Chief Economist for the Metro Atlanta Chamber (MAC), following a 30-year career at the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta.

Cunningham's deep experience covers all aspects of applied economics and real estate trends and he is a specialist in macroeconomic policy and regional analysis. He most recently served as vice president, senior economist and regional executive at the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta. During his tenure at the Atlanta Fed, Cunningham was instrumental in launching the Center for Real Estate Analytics, which studies macroeconomic policy related to real estate trends. Among other roles, he served as the point person for the Fed in the mid-1990s when the regional impact of hosting the 1996 Olympic Games was studied.

Throughout his career, he has interacted with multiple business leaders and companies in the Southeast, and has extensive knowledge and expertise in areas such as real estate mortgage, mortgage finance, insurance, capital markets, transportation and government.

Cunningham's role at MAC focuses on designing policies and making recommendations for solving economic problems that MAC and other regional entities can address together, while serving as a regional authority for economic trends and analysis on behalf of the organization.

Cunningham joined the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta as an economist with the macropolicy group in 1985. He was promoted to senior economist in 1989 and to research officer and senior economist with responsibility for the regional group in 1992. Cunningham previously worked as an instructor at Barnard College at Columbia University. He received a bachelor's degree, summa cum laude, in economics from California State University, Fresno. He earned a master's degree, a master of philosophy and a doctorate in economics from Columbia University. He also attended the executive development program at Wharton, and his work has been published in multiple professional journals.
