ABA STATEMENT ON BETSY DUKE’S APPOINTMENT TO THE FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD OF GOVERNORS
By Edward L. Yingling, ABA president and CEO
“Betsy’s Senate confirmation to the Federal Reserve Board is wonderful news. Her many years as a bank CEO and her involvement in ABA over the past decade have given Betsy a first-hand understanding of the challenges facing the financial services industry.
“As ABA chairman, she traveled the country, talking to, listening to and working with leaders from institutions of all sizes and complexity. Betsy is a smart, results-oriented strategic thinker. She will be a terrific addition to the Board.”
