last updated on Tuesday, June 20, 2023 in Business News
Commencement for the annual Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines Director Election is underway. Members in the states of Iowa, Minnesota and Montana will each elect one individual to fill the one member director seat in its respective state. Four independent director seats, including one public interest independent director (PID) seat, will be filled through a district wide election.
The nomination and election process for member and independent directors will be conducted electronically through Survey & Ballot Systems (SBS), an outside vendor experienced in administering online elections in a secure environment. On June 20, SBS emailed the Bank’s official announcement of election to eligible voting members in all states. Members in the states of Iowa, Minnesota and Montana each received an online member director nomination certificate, and eligible voting members in all states in the Bank’s district received information regarding the independent director application process and access to the independent director application form. Member director nomination certificates and independent director application forms must be received by the Bank by July 25, 2023.
Individuals interested in being considered for an independent director position must submit an Independent Director Application Form to the Bank by the nomination deadline of July 25, 2023 5:00 PM Central Time. The current application form prescribed by the FHFA can be found on its website at www.fhfa.gov. The form may also be accessed directly by clicking on the PDF document below.
