Ms. Clegg, former Export-Import Bank Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors and First Vice President, was initially appointed to the CBOT's Board of Director in September 2003, to fill a previously vacant non-member Director position.
CBOT Chairman Charles P. Carey said, "Ms. Clegg has been a welcome addition to the Board. The valuable insights and thoughtful perspective she provides from her extensive knowledge of international banking and her Washington background already have proven invaluable as the exchange explores joint ventures and collaborative business opportunities in the global marketplace."
Ms. Clegg was nominated by President Bill Clinton and confirmed by the U.S. Senate in 1997 as Vice Chair of the Board of Directors and First Vice President of the Export-Import Bank (Ex-Im Bank). During her tenure as First Vice President and Vice Chair, Ms. Clegg accepted the additional role of Chief Operating Officer in 1999. The Ex-Im Bank of the United States is the official export credit agency of the United States and its mission is to assist in financing the export of U.S. goods and services to international markets.
Ms. Clegg is currently the Managing Partner of the strategic consulting firm, Clegg International Consultants, LLC, where she focuses on strategic advice and crisis management, especially for businesses with an international interest. Additionally, during Ms. Clegg's 20-year career in Washington DC, she has worked in the U.S. Congress on national security, foreign affairs, and international finance and monetary policy.
