FHLBank Director Application Deadline August 15

The deadline to apply for FHLBank director positions is looming, and members of NAHB who are interested should contact the association’s staff no later than Aug. 15.

NAHB has established a process for assisting members who want to apply to serve as public interest directors on FHLBank boards, which can be viewed by clicking here.

Under Finance Board rules, public interest director candidates are required to complete and submit a standard eligibility form, which can be found in the last portion of the document displayed at this link. Candidates may also attach a resume to the form to provide information on additional business, professional or educational achievements that are not otherwise reflected on the application.

Each FHLBank board is responsible for conducting a preliminary assessment of candidates in its district and forwarding the most qualified candidates to the Finance Board for consideration. The deadline for these recommendations is Oct. 1.

Interested parties such as NAHB are allowed to make recommendations to the FHLBank boards on behalf of individuals they believe are well-qualified for the position. However, candidates are still required to complete and submit their eligibility forms before those recommendations can be considered.

For assistance with the application, e-mail Donna Ely at NAHB, or call her at 800-368-5242 x8529 — no later than Aug. 15.
