"I have enjoyed my federal service as a board member and regulator of the Federal Home Loan Bank System. Under the leadership of Chairman Ronald Rosenfeld, the Federal Housing Finance Board was well on the road to becoming a world class federal banking regulator. I will miss the many friends that I had made both in the public and private sector while serving in this post and hope that our paths will cross again," Bacino said in a statement announcing his resignation from the board, which took effect on Nov. 2.
