The Atlanta Fed's Community Depository Institutions Advisory Council (CDIAC) was founded in 2011 and meets twice a year. The chair of the Atlanta Fed's CDIAC, Tyler Clinch, president and CEO of First Community Bank of East Tennessee, is the Bank's representative to the national CDIAC, which also meets twice a year to advise the Federal Reserve Board.

Pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010, each Federal Reserve District has established a CDIAC to systematically include the views of community depository institutions in the policymaking process. CDIACs provide input to the Board on the economy, lending conditions, and other issues related to community banking.
