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 consumerrelated 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, 2001, to

replace members whose terms expire in

December 2000; the Board expects to

announce its appointment of new

members by year-end. Nomination

letters should include information about

past and present positions held by the

nominee; a description of special

knowledge, interests or experience

related to community reinvestment,

consumer protection regulations,

consumer credit, or other consumer

financial services; and the full name,

title, organization name, organization

description, current address, telephone

and fax numbers for both the nominee

and the nominator. Individuals may

nominate themselves.

The Board is interested in candidates

who have familiarity with consumer

financial services, community

reinvestment, consumer protection

regulations, and who are willing to

express their viewpoints. 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), 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.
