07/13/17 – The CFPB announced the appointment of new consumer experts to the Consumer Advisory Board, Community Bank Advisory Council, Credit Union Advisory Council, and Academic Research Council.

At Director Richard Cordray’s order, the CFPB also created a Community Bank Advisory Council, a Credit Union Advisory Council, and an Academic Research Council. The four bodies provide advice to CFPB leadership on a broad range of consumer financial issues and emerging market trends.
The Community Bank and Credit Union Advisory Councils advise and consult with the CFPB on consumer financial issues related to community banks and credit unions. The Academic Research Council shares insight relating to research methodologies, data collection, and analytic strategies.
