The CDAC also advises the Bank's president and board of directors on ways in which the Bank can be of assistance in support of community development efforts in the region, and discusses opportunities to facilitate communication between sectors to encourage effective use of community development resources across New England.
"The Council brings a diversity of views from on-the-ground work across New England to help us to advance the Boston Fed's mission of public service that makes a difference," said Eric S. Rosengren, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston. "I am looking forward to working with the new members in the coming years."
