not limited to: financial inclusion, 

access to capital, housing stability, 

federal supplier diversity, and economic 

development. The duties of the 

Committee shall be solely advisory and

advice and recommendations to the 

Offices of the Secretary and Deputy 

Secretary, which shall be non-binding to 

the Department. No determination of 

fact or policy shall be made by the 

Committee.
