Federal Home Loan Bank Of New York Commences 2020 Board Of Directors Election Process

NEW YORK, June 26, 2020 /PRNewswire/ --The Federal Home Loan Bank of New York (FHLBNY) is now soliciting nominations for candidates to serve on its Board of Directors (Board) for terms commencing on January 1, 2021, the FHLBNY announced in an electronic communication sent to its members on June 26, 2020.

"The depth and diversity of Board is key to the success of our franchise," said José R. González, president and CEO of the FHLBNY. "Our Directors are active and engaged, providing our team with guidance and insight as we develop and execute on strategies and initiatives that benefit our entire cooperative. I encourage all of our members to participate in the election process."

In total, five Directorships – one seat representing the FHLBNY's New Jersey members, two seats representing the FHLBNY's New York members, and two Independent Directorships representing the whole District – are up for election in 2020.

The FHLBNY's official Certificate of Nomination was included in the communication sent to eligible members on June 26, 2020. Eligible New Jersey-based stockholders may, using the Certificate, nominate one person for the open New Jersey Member Directorship. Eligible New York-based stockholders may, again using the Certificate, nominate one person for each of the two open New York Member Directorships.

Separately, those individuals interested in being nominated for the two open Independent Directorships must first submit an Independent Director Application Form and a resume to the FHLBNY.

All electronic Certificates of Nomination must be submitted, and all emailed Independent Director Application Forms and resumes must be received by the FHLBNY, by 5:00 p.m. ET on July 28, 2020.

For more information on the election, including a copy of the Independent Director Application Form and a list of key election dates, see our Corporate Governance page at http://www.fhlbny.com/corporate-governance.

The FHLBNY's Board of Directors consists of a talented group of dedicated individuals that benefits from, among other things, demographic (including gender and racial) diversity, and the FHLBNY expects that this will continue in the future. As members consider potential nominations for Member Directorships and give thought to persons who might be interested in Independent Directorships, please keep diversity in mind.

Questions on the 2020 Director election process should be directed to Paul Friend, the FHLBNY's General Counsel, at [email protected].
