  • Mission [1]
    • The advisory committee supports the FDIC through its advice and recommendations on a broad range of policy issues that have a particular impact on small community banks from around the nation, and the local communities they serve, with a focus on rural areas. The committee reviews various issues that include, but are not limited to, the latest examination policies/procedures, credit/lending practices, deposit insurance assessments, insurance coverage issues, regulatory compliance matters, as well as any obstacles to the continued growth and ability of community banks to extend financial services in their local markets.After each Community Bank Advisory Committee meeting, FDIC staff prepares detailed minutes of the meeting and posts them on the FDIC's external website so that the public can be well-informed about the issues discussed, and suggestions made, during the meeting. To the extent appropriate, staff considers the views of the Advisory Committee members in develooping and formulating corporate policies and procedures.
