The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) announced that it would convene its first meetings of the year for its advisory boards and councils.
The meeting will take place over a conference call, which will be open to the public, and will involve all of the bureau’s advisory boards and councils.
That includes the Consumer Advisory Board, Community Bank Advisory Council, Credit Union Advisory Council and the Academic Research Council.
The meetings will be from 2 to 4:15 p.m. ET on May 1 and is said to focus on the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, including a snap shot of consumer complaints as a result of the pandemic, and the impact of the pandemic on consumers, including servicemembers, students, older Americans and the underserved.
“During the advisory committee meetings we will delve into the impact this pandemic is having on consumers and our work to ensure consumers are protected during this time,” CFPB Director Kathy Kraninger said in a release.
Members of the public interested in listening to the meeting must RSVP by noon, April 30. RSVPs can be accessed by clicking here.
