 MSRB-TEXAS MAC MUNICIPAL SECURITIES SEMINAR TO BE WEBCAST

Alexandria, VA – The Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board (MSRB) and the Municipal Advisory Council of Texas announced today that they will webcast their March 7, 2013 education and outreach event, to be held in Dallas, Texas. The webcast will expand accessibility to the event for all industry professionals—not just those in the Dallas area—to learn about the MSRB’s current priorities and its rulemaking efforts for municipal advisors and dealers.

The Dallas seminar will be held on Thursday, March 7, 2013 from 2:00 p.m. – 5:00 p.m. CST. Representatives from the MSRB will discuss initiatives the MSRB is undertaking in support of its mission to protect investors and municipal entities, including rulemaking, market transparency and education activities. The program also will include updates on the MSRB’s implementation of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.

The seminar and webcast are open to all members of the municipal securities community. There is no cost to listen to the webcast; however, pre-registration is required. The registration deadline for the webcast is March 6, 2013. Register for the webcast.

Attendees at the Dallas seminar and those who view the webcast are eligible to receive 1.5 hours of Texas Continuing Legal Education credit. Webcast attendees can learn more here.
