MSRB SEATS NEW BOARD AND BEGINS FISCAL YEAR
Alexandria, VA – The Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board (MSRB) today began its 2015 fiscal year and seated the 21-member Board of Directors that establishes regulatory policies and oversees the operations of the MSRB.
The Board includes seven new members as well as new officers. Kym Arnone, who joined the Board in 2012, is the new Chair of the MSRB Board of Directors. Marcy Edwards, who also joined the Board in 2012, is Vice Chair.
The MSRB Board of Directors has 11 independent public members and 10 members from firms regulated by the MSRB, including broker-dealers, banks and municipal advisors. In order to provide consistency of policy, seven individuals join the Board each year and seven others complete their three-year terms.
Four standing committees—Audit, Finance, Nominating and Governance, and Steering—perform work at the direction of the Board, with responsibilities defined by their charters. MSRB Board members serve on one or more committees.
