On January 13, Governance Studies at the Brookings Institution hosted Richard Cordray, the director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, for a discussion about the mortgage market.
Cordray is the first director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. He previously led the Bureau’s Office of Enforcement. Prior to joining the Bureau, Cordray served as the Attorney General of Ohio where he built a record of protecting consumers from fraudulent disclosures and financial predators. Prior to that, Cordray was Ohio’s State Treasurer, and in 2008 received a Financial Services Champion award from the U.S. Small Business Administration and a Government Service Award from NeighborWorks America.
Ambassador Norman Eisen will provide introductory remarks and moderate audience Q&A.
