The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) consists of twelve members [:]

1. the seven members of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System; 
2. the president of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York; and 
3. four of the remaining eleven Reserve Bank presidents, who serve one-year terms on a rotating basis. The rotating seats are filled from the following four groups of Banks, one Bank president from each group:
   (1) Boston, Philadelphia, and Richmond;
   (2) Cleveland and Chicago;
   (3) Atlanta, St. Louis, and Dallas; and
   (4) Minneapolis, Kansas City, and San Francisco. 
4. Nonvoting Reserve Bank presidents attend the meetings of the Committee, participate in the discussions, and contribute to the Committee's assessment of the economy and policy options.

The FOMC holds eight regularly scheduled meetings per year. At these meetings, the Committee reviews economic and financial conditions, determines the appropriate stance of monetary policy, and assesses the risks to its long-run goals of price stability and sustainable economic growth.
