WASHINGTON – The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has announced appointments to its Credit Union Advisory Council, as well as to its Consumer Advisory Board, Community Bank Advisory Council, and Academic Research Council.
The four bodies provide advice to CFPB leadership on a broad range of consumer financial issues and emerging market trends.
“The Bureau’s advisory board and councils play an important role making sure that we are hearing from a wide array of perspectives in the consumer financial marketplace,” said CFPB Director Richard Cordray in a statement. The new additions being announced today are experts in their fields and I look forward to working with all of them to help consumers.”
