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 USC 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, 2006, to replace members whose terms expire in December 2005. The Board expects to announce its appointment of new members in early January. Nomination letters should include: -2• • • • • • a résumé; 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, D.C. 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.
