CSBS is the professional association of state officials responsible for chartering, regulating and supervising the nation’s state-chartered banks and state-licensed branches and agencies of foreign banks. CSBS is governed by a set of corporate bylaws and a Board of Directors, which is composed of 20 supervisors. The individual states are represented on the Board by six elected Officers and District Chairmen from five geographic districts and appointed committee chairs and two at large members. The Board of Directors has supervision, control and direction of the affairs of the Conference, it is affiliates, its committees and publications, and shall determine its policies and actively prosecute its objectives.
The CSBS Bankers Advisory Board provides the Board of Directors with the industry’s perspective and works within the banking industry to promote our common goals. The chairman of the Bankers Advisory Board is an ex-officio non-voting member of the Board of Directors.
Affiliated Entities:
In 1984, CSBS helped create the Education Foundation of State Bank Supervisors (EFSBS). The membership of EFSBS is the same as CSBS, and the two entities interact extensively. The purposes of EFSBS are to fund and to direct the education and training efforts of the professional development staff of CSBS.
In 2006, the Conference of State Bank Supervisors and the American Association of Residential Mortgage Regulators formed the State Regulatory Registry, LLC, a limited liability corporation, to oversee the development and operations of a nationwide licensing system and database for the residential mortgage industry. The SRR Board of Managers reports to the CSBS Board of Directors and is responsible for all policy matters governing NMLS.
Standing Committees:
CSBS has six standing committees, including the Executive Committee, Nominating Committee, Legislative Committee, Regulatory Committee, Personnel and Compensation Committee, and State Supervisory Processes Committee.
