SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Consumer Advisory Council was
established in 1976 at the direction of the Congress to advise the
Federal Reserve Board on the exercise of its duties under the Consumer
Credit Protection Act and on other consumer-related matters. The
Council by law represents the interests both of consumers and of the
financial services industry (15 U.S.C. 1691(b)). Under the Rules of
Organization and Procedure of the Consumer Advisory Council (12 CFR
267.3), members serve three-year terms that are staggered to provide
the Council with continuity.
New members will be selected for terms beginning January 1, 2007,
to replace members whose terms expire in December 2006. The Board
expects to announce its appointment of new members in early January.
Nomination letters should include:
A r[eacute]sum[eacute];
Information about past and present positions held by the
nominee, dates, and description of responsibilities;
A description of special knowledge, interests, or
experience related to community reinvestment, consumer protection
regulations, consumer credit, or other consumer financial services;
Full name, title, organization name, organization
description for both the nominee and the nominator;
Current address, telephone and fax numbers for both the
nominee and the nominator; and
Positions held in community organizations, and on councils
and boards.
Individuals may nominate themselves.
The Board is interested in candidates who have familiarity with
consumer financial services, community reinvestment, and consumer
protection regulations, and who are willing to express their views.
Candidates do not have to be experts on all levels of consumer
financial services or community reinvestment, but they should possess
some basic knowledge of the area. They must be able and willing to make
the necessary time commitment to participate in conference calls, and
prepare for and attend meetings three times a year (usually for two
days, including committee meetings). The meetings are held at the
Board's offices in Washington, DC. The Board pays travel expenses,
lodging, and a nominal honorarium.
In making the appointments, the Board will seek to complement the
background of continuing Council members in terms of affiliation and
geographic representation, and to ensure the representation of women
and minority groups. The Board may consider prior years' nominees and
does not limit consideration to individuals nominated by the public
when making its selection.
