Advisory groups
Whether we’re writing regulations, redesigning forms so they are easier to understand, or following new trends in consumer finance, we count on stakeholders for advice and insight. In addition to our day-to-day work of gathering information, we also convene four independent groups for formal input on everything from consumer engagement, to policy development, to research.
