The current and immediate past chairmen of the federal bank deposit insurance agency will open and close – respectively – a gathering of community bankers that is sponsored by the agency, one of a handful of scheduled public events touching on federal financial institution regulation.
Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. (FDIC) Board Chairman Jelena McWilliams is scheduled to offer closing remarks Wednesday (at about 3:30 p.m.) at the all-day meeting of the FDIC Advisory Committee on Community Banking (in Washington at FDIC headquarters). At the start of the day (at 9 a.m.) former Board Chairman Martin Gruenberg (now a member of the FDIC Board) kicks off the event with welcome remarks. The program also includes sessions on legislation, regulatory burden reduction, supervision, assessment credits and more.
