CFPB Announces New Members for Advisory Councils

Sep 10, 2018

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) has announced membership changes to three of its Advisory Committees.

The agency presented a lineup of new members for its Consumer Advisory Board, Community Bank Advisory Council and Credit Union Advisory Council, which are designed to provide advice to the CFPB on a wide range of financial issues. In June, the CFPB generated controversy when Acting Director Mick Mulvaney dismissed the 25 members of the Consumer Advisory Board. All of the new board members will serve a one-year term.

"Today, I am appointing experts to the Bureau’s advisory committees who will bring a fresh perspective to our important work," said Mulvaney in a statement.
