The American Financial Services Association (AFSA) was greatly saddened to learn of the unexpected death of John W. Ryan, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Conference of State Bank Supervisors (CSBS).

“As the longtime leader of the organization representing the state regulators who supervise the vast majority of our consumer finance member companies, John was a highly respected and trusted colleague who understood the important role our members played in the lives of consumers and the important role regulators play in our industry,” said Bill Himpler, President and CEO of AFSA. “We extend our condolences to his CSBS colleagues, and especially John’s family.”

“John was one of my favorite people to work with on state regulatory and policy issues,” said AFSA Senior Vice President Danielle Fagre Arlowe. “To my mind he is irreplaceable, and I extend my condolences to all of the state regulators who benefited from John’s deep experience and leadership.”
