We are proud to announce that our President and CEO Andrea Brennan has been appointed to the Federal Reserve Board’s Community Advisory Council (CAC), an advisory committee providing feedback and advice to the Board on issues affecting communities across the country.
The CAC brings together experts from a wide range of fields — including affordable housing, community and economic development, financial services, small business support, and workforce development — to share insights on the economic realities and needs of low- and moderate-income communities. Members meet twice yearly with Federal Reserve Board Governors in Washington, D.C., providing input that helps shape national policy discussions.
Andrea’s appointment reflects her deep expertise, extensive community leadership, and long-standing commitment to advancing a strong housing ecosystem. As President and CEO of the Greater Minnesota Housing Fund, she has been a powerful advocate for strengthening communities, expanding affordable housing, and building partnerships to address local housing across the entire state.
“I’m grateful for this opportunity to represent our region and share on-the-ground emerging trends and challenges in Minnesota’s low-and moderate-income rural, Tribal, urban and suburban communities with national policy makers,” Brennan shared.
Her voice will contribute directly to conversations that influence how federal monetary and community development policies address the needs of households and communities in Minnesota and nationwide.
