Washington, D.C. (Dec. 20, 2022) — Independent Community Bankers of America (ICBA) President and CEO Rebeca Romero Rainey issued the following statement on the Senate confirmation of President Joe Biden’s nominees to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. board of directors.
“ICBA congratulates FDIC Acting Chairman Martin Gruenberg on his confirmation as FDIC chairman as well as Travis Hill and Jonathan McKernan on their confirmations as members of the FDIC board of directors. ICBA will continue to ensure that the community banking perspective is voiced as we engage with Chairman Gruenberg and the full FDIC board on policy matters that affect community banks and the customers and communities they serve. We also look forward to continuing to work with the FDIC to advance policies that support a balanced regulatory approach that reflects the unique relationship-based business model of our nation’s nearly 5,000 community banks. Doing so will ensure a flourishing future for the customers and communities that depend on their local community bank for economic stability and prosperity—especially during economically uncertain times.”
