Short Statement: In January 2015, the Board created the CAC as an advisory committee to the Board on issues affecting consumers and communities. The CAC comprises a diverse group of experts and representatives of consumer and community development organizations and interests, including from such fields as affordable housing, community and economic development, small business, and asset and wealth building. CAC members meet semiannually with the members of the Board in Washington, DC to provide a range of perspectives on the economic circumstances and financial services needs of consumers and communities, with a particular focus on the concerns of low- and moderate-income consumers and communities. The CAC complements the Board’s other advisory councils – the Community Depository Institutions Advisory Council (CDIAC) and the Federal Advisory Council (FAC) – whose members represent depository institutions. The CAC serves as a mechanism to gather feedback and perspectives on a wide range of policy matters and emerging issues of interest to the Board of Governors and aligns with the Federal Reserve’s mission and current responsibilities. These responsibilities include, but are not limited to, banking supervision and regulatory compliance (including the enforcement of consumer protection laws), systemic risk oversight and monetary policy decision-making, and, in conjunction with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) and Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), responsibility for implementation of the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA). The Federal Reserve considered CAC candidates during 2015 by soliciting Statements of Interest that allowed individuals to submit whatever information that they determined, in their sole discretion, was appropriate. The type and amount of information submitted by applicants varied significantly. The proposed Application for Membership would provide a structure for candidates’ submissions, standardize the process, and allow the Board to evaluate candidates more efficiently.
