How are six of nine director positions for boards of each federal district bank filled?

Six of the nine director positions for each federal district bank are filled by member banks within the district. Specifically, these banks elect three Class A directors who represent member banks, and three Class B directors who represent the public and are selected by the Board of Governors in Washington, D.C. The remaining three directors are Class C directors, also appointed by the Board of Governors, who represent the public and cannot be affiliated with member banks. This structure ensures a balance between banking interests and public representation in the governance of the Federal Reserve Banks.
