In this role, Mr. Moss will oversee the division previously named Community Affairs, with community development professionals located in Washington, D.C., and the OCC regions who provide expertise, guidance, and educational resources, and organize outreach on community development lending, services, investments, and related issues in support of the OCC’s mission.
Mr. Moss remains the Director of External Relations and Strategic Partnerships, where he directs the agency’s strategies in support of financial inclusion initiatives, including the OCC’s Project REACh. Mr. Moss also currently serves as the OCC’s Acting Chief of Staff where he advances the priorities of the Acting Comptroller.
