Chicago Fed Announces New Community Banking Advisory Council

CHICAGO - The Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago today announced the 12 new members of its Community Depository Institution Advisory Council (CDIAC).

 

Council members represent banks, thrifts and credit unions throughout the Seventh Federal Reserve District, which consists of most of Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin, and Michigan, as well as Iowa. They will meet twice a year at the FRBC to discuss community banking issues such as local economic conditions, the state of small business lending, current banking conditions and state regulatory perspectives.
 
In addition the council chairperson, Barrie G. Christman, will be a member of a national CDIAC, which will meet in Washington with members of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors.


"I think these regional councils will be an additional tool to help us keep well informed about community banking in different regions of the United States," said Chicago Fed President Charles Evans.

 

All council members will serve staggered terms through 2013.  The first meeting of the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago council is slated for March 18, 2011.  For more information about the CDIAC, log onto www.chicagofed.org/webpages/people/cdiac.cfm
