If electronic submission is not feasible, the nominations can be

and Community Affairs Officer, Division of Consumer and Community
Affairs, Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, Washington,
DC 20551.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jennifer Kerslake, Secretary of the
Council, Division of Consumer and Community Affairs, (202) 452-6470,

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 U.S.C. 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, 2010,
to replace members whose terms expire in December 2009. The Board
expects to announce its appointment of new members in early January.
Nomination letters should include:
A r[eacute]sum[eacute] for each nominee;
nominee's full name, organizational affiliation, title,
address, phone and fax numbers, and email address;
nominee organization's name, brief description of
organization, address, and phone and fax numbers;
information about past and present positions held by the
nominee, dates, and description of responsibilities;
a description of the nominee's special knowledge,
interests, or experience related to community development and
reinvestment, consumer protection regulations, consumer credit, or
other consumer financial services issues;
positions held in community organizations and on councils
and boards; and
nominator's full name, organizational affiliation, title,
address, phone and fax numbers, and e-mail address.
Individuals may nominate themselves.
The Board is interested in candidates who have familiarity with
consumer financial services, community development and 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 issues. 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, DC. 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.
