A. General

1. The Bank will pay each member of the board of directors a fee for attendance at any official meeting (in person or by telephone) of the board or a committee of the board. An official meeting includes a meeting of any ad hoc committee established by the board for a specific purpose. In addition, the Bank will pay any director representative to the Council of Federal Home Loan Banks (FHLBanks) a fee for attendance at any official meeting of that group. The Bank will not pay a fee for a director’s attendance at any Federal Home Loan Bank System meeting. The fees for attendance at these meetings are outlined below.

2. The Bank will pay a fee only for a director’s actual attendance and participation at a meeting, unless the director’s absence is due to unanticipated transportation problems encountered while in route to the meeting. Participation by telephone for in-person meetings is discouraged unless necessary to attain a quorum. The Bank will not pay for a director’s participation by telephone for an in-person meeting unless the Chairman approves such participation. The Bank will not pay a fee for a director’s attendance at meetings other than those described above.

3. The Bank will not advance the payment of fees to any director.

4. Effective January 1, 2012, the following annual compensation limits shall apply:

a)	Chairman of the Board	$	70,000
b)	Vice Chairman of the Board	$	65,000
c)	Chairman of the Audit Committee	$	65,000
d)	Other Chairmen of Committees (excluding Audit and Executive)	$	60,000
e)	All Other Directors	$	55,000

Once a director reaches his or her annual compensation limit, the Bank will not pay additional fees to that director, even if the director attends a meeting at which a fee otherwise would be paid under this policy.
