MSRB SEEKS VOLUNTEERS FOR BOARD ADVISORY GROUPS

 

 

Washington, DC – The Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board (MSRB) today announced that it is seeking volunteers for two Board advisory groups for FY 2021: the Compliance Advisory Group (CAG) and the Municipal Fund Securities Advisory Group (MFSAG). In addition, the MSRB is requesting input on potential topics for these advisory groups to take up in FY 2021.

“A particularly impactful way municipal market stakeholders can engage with the MSRB is by serving on one of the Board’s advisory groups,” said Seema Mohanty, Chair of the Board’s Stakeholder Engagement Committee. “For several years, the Board has benefited from the diverse market perspectives and expertise of the members of our advisory groups, and we encourage market stakeholders to volunteer to serve on one of the two FY 2021 groups.”

  • Compliance Advisory Group
    The MSRB originally established CAG in FY 2018 to provide additional outside expertise and input to the Board to help inform the organization’s long-term strategic goal to facilitate industry understanding of and compliance with MSRB rules.
  • Municipal Fund Securities Advisory Group
    In FY 2019, the MSRB established MFSAG to provide input to the Board on municipal market rules, practices, transparency, and education related to 529 savings plans and Stephen Beck, Jr., Achieving a Better Life Experience Act of 2014 (ABLE) programs.

The MSRB is now seeking qualified individuals from around the country representing diverse market perspectives and organizations to volunteer for its FY 2021 CAG and MFSAG. The MSRB will accept volunteer submissions through December 15, 2020. In addition, interested individuals are invited to recommend topics they believe the Board’s advisory groups should consider addressing in FY 2021.
