Ms. Edwards is Senior Financial Policy Advisor to the District of Columbia’s Chief Financial Officer and has spent her career in municipal finance and government budget capacities.

“Marcy’s experience as an advisor to state and local governments, an issuer of bonds and in municipal credit ratings makes her ideally suited to advance the MSRB’s mission to protect investors and state and local governments,” said MSRB Chair Jay M.

The MSRB Board of Directors is composed of members representing both the public and regulated entities, including broker-dealers, bank dealers and municipal advisors. Ms. Edwards joins the MSRB as one of 11 independent, public members represented on the MSRB’s 21-member board.

Prior to joining the government of the District of Columbia, Ms. Edwards was executive vice president and a partner of the financial advisory firm Public Resources Advisory Group, where she advised a broad range of state and local governments, their agencies and authorities on credit issues and assisted in the structuring of a variety of public finance offerings. She also was a vice president and manager in the municipal department of Moody’s Investors Service and held positions with the United States Senate Budget Committee, the U.S. Office of Management and Budget and the U.S. Department of Energy.

Ms. Edwards is a member of the National Federation of Municipal Analysts, the Municipal Forum of New York and the Municipal Analysts Group of New York. She received a bachelor’s degree from Rollins College and a master’s degree in public administration from the University of Southern California.
