The 2002 Nominating Committee of the Municipal Securities
Rulemaking Board requests recommendations of persons to be considered
for five Board positions opening on October 1, 2002.
MEMBERSHIP REQUIREMENTS
The MSRB, 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.

in mind:

representatives, two securities firm representatives and one
