On Tuesday, June 9, South Dakota bankers are invited to join North Dakota bankers for a Virtual Town Hall with FDIC Chair Jelena McWilliams at 10:30-11:30 a.m. CDT. McWilliams was originally scheduled to speak at the SDBA/NDBA Annual Convention, which was canceled due to the pandemic.

McWilliams was sworn in as the 21st chair of the FDIC on June 5, 2018. She serves a six-year term on the FDIC Board of Directors and is designated as chair for a term of five years.

McWilliams was executive vice president, chief legal officer and corporate secretary for Fifth Third Bank in Cincinnati, Ohio. Prior to joining Fifth Third Bank, McWilliams worked in the U.S. Senate for six years, most recently as chief counsel and deputy staff director with the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs and previously as assistant chief counsel with the Senate Small Business and Entrepreneurship Committee.

From 2007 to 2010, McWilliams served as an attorney at the Federal Reserve Board of Governors, where she drafted consumer protection regulations, reviewed and analyzed comment letters on regulatory proposals, and responded to consumer complaints.

Participants will have the chance to submit a question when they register. Register for the Virtual Town Hall with FDIC Chair Jelena McWilliams.
