The Federal Reserve Bank of New York said a board committee is
recommending Gerald Lipkin for another three-year term as a class A
director and David Cote for another term as a class B director.
Current class A directors of the New York Fed are James Gormon,
chairman and chief executive of Morgan Stanley, whose term expires
in 2018; Mr. Lipkin, the chairman, president and chief executive of
Valley National Bank, whose terms expires at the end of the year;
and Paul Mello, president and CEO of Solvay Bank, whose term
expires 2017.
The existing class B directors are Glenn Hutchins, co-founder of
private equity firm Silver Lake; Mr. Cote, chairman and CEO of
Honeywell International Inc.; and Terry Lundgren, chairman and CEO
of Macy's Inc.
Mr. Lipkin and Mr. Cote are being nominated to serve again, the
New York Fed's committee for recommending directors said.
The bank said it wants to receive feedback by Nov. 25, and elect
the directors before Jan. 1. Their new terms would end Dec. 31,
2019.
The firms who are selecting the new directors are a list of 30
member banks pulled from across Connecticut, New Jersey, New York
and Puerto Rico, with capital and surplus ranging from $40 million
to $2 billion as of Oct. 19.
On Nov. 28, the candidates' names will be sent around to voting
banks and the polls will open Nov. 29, closing at noon on Dec. 14,
said Emily Rafferty, who chairs the bank's board.
