Rich Spillenkothen, the director of the Division of Banking Supervision and Regulation, will retire on June 30 after thirty years of service with the Federal Reserve Board, including nearly fifteen years as the director of the division.

"Rich has led the Board’s supervision program during periods of unparalleled growth, innovation, deregulation, and consolidation in the American banking system, as well as through a number of financial system and banking shocks,” said Federal Reserve Board Chairman Ben S. Bernanke. “During Rich’s tenure, the Federal Reserve’s approach to banking supervision has evolved significantly. His leadership in the supervision of risk management and capital adequacy form a sound basis for the future work of financial supervisors everywhere."
