Cordray Recess Appointment Hailed By US SIF: The Forum for Sustainable and Responsible Investment

 
 
WASHINGTON--In a prepared statement, Lisa Woll, CEO of US SIF: The Forum for Sustainable and Responsible Investment said:
 
“We strongly support the decision made today by President Barack Obama to appoint Richard Cordray, the highly regarded and well-qualified former Ohio Attorney General, to be the first director of the new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.  This appointment was long overdue and is essential to helping restore the frayed sense of confidence that Americans have in many financial institutions and consumer financial products.
 
Attorney General Cordray brings strong pro-consumer credentials to this important job.  His background will help ensure that consumer financial products and services are fairer for all Americans.   
 
US SIF and its members supported the creation of the CFPB and look forward to working with Mr. Cordray and staff at the CFPB to create a more equitable and sustainable economy.”
