About the Federal Advisory Council
The Federal Advisory Council (FAC), which is composed of twelve representatives of the banking industry, consults with and advises the Federal Reserve System Board of Governors on all matters within its jurisdiction. The FAC ordinarily meets four times a year in Washington, D.C., the minimum number of meetings required by the Federal Reserve Act. Each year, each Reserve Bank appoints an individual to represent its District on the FAC for a one-year term, up to three terms.
