Abstract: The Federal Housing Finance Agency's (FHFA) regulations on minority and women inclusion require the Federal Home Loan Banks (Banks) and the Office of Finance to include in the contents of their annual reports certain demographic information related to their boards of directors as well as a description of their related activities during the reporting year. Under the regulations, each Bank and the Office of Finance are required to request annually that each member of its board of directors provide, on a voluntary basis, self-identification of his or her demographic classification, without including personally identifiable information. Each Bank and the Office of Finance are also required to submit the baseline board demographic information collected to FHFA as part of their annual reports that they are required to submit under the regulations.
