The 1999 Nominating Committee requests recommendations of persons to be considered for five Board positions opening on October 1, 1999.

MEMBERSHIP REQUIREMENTS

The Board, established by Congress in 1975 to act as the primary rulemaking body for the municipal securities industry, consists of 15 members—five representatives of bank dealers, five representatives of securities firms and five public members. One public member must represent issuers and one investors. Public members may not be associated with a securities firm or bank dealer other than by reason of being under common control with, or directly controlling, any broker or dealer which is not a municipal securities broker or municipal securities dealer.

When making recommendations, keep these Board membership requirements in mind:

Two public representatives, two securities firm representatives and one bank dealer representative must be elected this year to ensure equal representation in each category;
Municipal securities dealers of diverse size and type must be represented; and
Wide geographic representation must be maintained.
