MSRB Update: Fall 2024

I am delighted to announce the election of Warren “Bo” Daniels as our incoming Board Chair and Jennie Bennett as our incoming Vice Chair for FY 2025. While I’ve had the pleasure of working with both over the last three years, I look forward to working with them more closely as they take on these leadership roles.  

I want to express my deep appreciation and gratitude to our outgoing Chair Meredith Hathorn and Vice Chair Angelia Schmidt for their outstanding leadership and unwavering commitment to advancing the public interest in a fair and efficient municipal securities market. Their term ends on September 30, 2024, and Bo and Jennie’s term starts the next day, October 1.  

I’m also pleased to announce the election of three new Board members for Fiscal Year 2025, all of whom have extensive experience in the field of public finance. They are poised to bring fresh perspective to our important work.  

The Board elected two new public members and one regulated member to fill vacancies on the Board. Joining the Board as public members are Ahmed A. Abonamah, former Chief Financial Officer & Director, Department of Finance, City of Cleveland, and Daniel L. Wiles, Assistant Treasurer and Tax Collector, County of Los Angeles. The new regulated member joining the Board is Heather E. Grzanka, Executive Director, Compliance Director, Fixed Income, Public Finance, JPMorgan Chase & Co., New York. The new Board members were selected from a pool of 48 applicants this year.
