The National CDIAC advises the Board on the economy, lending conditions, and other issues of interest to community depository institutions. Members are selected from representatives of commercial banks, thrift institutions, and credit unions serving on local advisory councils at the 12 Federal Reserve Banks. One member of each of the Reserve Bank councils serves on National CDIAC, which meets twice a year with the Federal Reserve Board in Washington, DC.

“It was an immense honor last year to have been selected by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System to serve in an advisory role, but it’s truly humbling to have been nominated a second consecutive time to offer my services,” said Beguin. “Being able to provide counsel to our nation’s central bank on behalf of local community banks and communities during these challenging times will hopefully have a positive impact for the industry and society.”
