About the Financial Empowerment Community Council
The Financial Empowerment Community Council (FECC) is a 17-member advisory board appointed by the Mayor and approved by the City Council. The FECC charge includes the following:
- Monitor citywide financial empowerment metrics and indicators
- Provide feedback and advice on Office of Financial Empowerment (OFE) partnerships, community engagement, policy platform, research agenda, and potential grant opportunities
- Review the effectiveness of OFE activities and initiatives.
Of the 17 members, at least one will reside and/or work in each of the 7 Wards. The remaining 10 members will be selected from the financial, housing, tenants’ rights advocacy, and consumer protection industries. The Mayor will also select a Chair and Vice Chair from the FECC membership. Initial term lengths vary from 2 to 3 years; all successive terms are 2 years in length. No member may serve more than 3 terms.
The FECC will meet no more than four times each year, though votes may be held remotely in the interim under the discretion of the Chair.
