On October 5, the CFPB published the list of new members appointed to serve on the Consumer Advisory Board and each Council group.

As background, Dodd-Frank requires the CFPB to maintain and work with a Consumer Advisory Board, comprised of industry leaders who are recommended by the presidents of each Federal Reserve Bank across the country. In addition to the Consumer Advisory Board, the CFPB collaborates with each Council group: the Community Bank Advisory Council, Credit Union Advisory Council, and Academic Research Council. The council groups are made up of executives of financial institutions, leaders of consumer advocacy groups, housing organizations, and other stakeholders. The members act simply in an advisory role, and are not representatives of the CFPB or the Federal Reserve.

Below are the newly appointed members of each group:
