"Our Board and the entire cooperative are eternally grateful to José González for leading the FHLBNY for the past decade," said Larry E. Thompson, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the FHLBNY. "Under José's leadership, our cooperative has made significant investments in our people, our products and our technology, and has produced both record income and record contributions to our affordable housing and community development programs. His steady hand guided the FHLBNY through the global COVID-19 pandemic and the March 2023 banking crisis, ensuring that our cooperative remained a stable and reliable source of liquidity during periods of significant market turmoil. Most importantly, he leaves behind a collaborative and supportive culture, with a talented team committed to delivering on the FHLBNY's foundational liquidity mission."
