Featured Speaker:
Leonard J. "Len" Kennedy, Esq.
Senior Advisor and Counselor
Office of the Director, CFPB

As senior advisor and counselor to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, Len Kennedy brings unique insight into the mission and workings of the CFPB. A little over one year ago, the CFPB became the nation’s first federal agency focused solely on protecting consumers in the financial marketplace. Mr. Kennedy will provide an insider’s perspective on the Bureau’s rulemaking, supervision and enforcement efforts relating to credit cards, mortgages, student loans and other financial products and services. He will also comment on the organization’s extensive outreach to large and small institutions, including banks and nonbanks, as the CFPB seeks to gather as much information as possible as it makes policy decisions. In this critical role, the CFPB promises to shape the market for consumer credit for years to come.
