WASHINGTON, D.C. — America’s Community Bankers announced today that Priyalatha Dayananda has been promoted to a director of government relations. Dayananda joined ACB as a legislative specialist in 2001.

Dayananda also staffs ACB’s MBank Council, which addresses the special issues and challenges that face minority and multi-cultural community banks.
Before joining ACB, Dayananda served as legislative director for Rep. Steve Israel (D-N.Y.) and as his legislative liaison as a member of the House Financial Services Committee.
Her prior service also includes serving as senior legislative assistant for Rep. Gregory Meeks (D-N.Y.) and as a legislative assistant to Rep. Eddie Bernice Johnson (D-Texas).
