Member institutions of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas (FHLB Dallas) recently re-elected four directors and elected one new director to its Board of Directors (Board). Those re-elected were: Board Chairman Joseph F. Quinlan, Jr. as a Louisiana member director, Tim H. Carter and W. Wesley Hoskins as Texas member directors, and Margo S. Scholin as an independent director from Texas. Cheryl D. Alston joins the Board as a newly elected independent director, also from Texas.

Their terms began January 1, 2017, and are either three or four years in length. There were no member director seats to be filled from Arkansas, Mississippi or New Mexico in the recent election.

“As a member-owned cooperative, FHLB Dallas benefits from experienced directors who represent our members and their communities,” said FHLB Dallas President and CEO Sanjay Bhasin. “The work of balancing financial performance with fulfilling our public purpose is at the forefront of the Board’s mission.”

The Board consists of nine member directors and eight independent directors. Each member director is an officer and/or director of a member institution that is located in FHLB Dallas’ five-state District of Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, New Mexico and Texas. Independent directors must reside in the Bank’s District and have either: (i) demonstrated knowledge of or experience in organizational management, auditing and accounting, risk management practices, financial management, project development, law or derivatives, or (ii) more than four years' experience representing consumer or community interests in banking services, credit needs, housing or consumer financial protections.

FHLB Dallas’ primary goal is to provide credit and other services to help members fund housing, small business, and economic and community development loans in their communities. FHLB Dallas advances (loans to members) supplement local deposits as a source of funds for members.
