Teamwork: Cooperative or coordinated effort on the part of a group of persons acting together in the interests of a common cause.

Teamwork is one of the great strengths of the NIBA. For 25 years, the Association’s team members have worked together to further the interests of the professional derivatives community -- to keep it strong, to make it’s voice heard and, at times, to even ensure its relevancy.
Much of the success of the NIBA is due to the contributions of its team members. From the very first board meeting in May 1991, the CME Group has been one of NIBA’s most valuable team members. With their help and that of the Chicago Board of Trade, New York Mercantile Exchange and Kansas City Board of Trade - now all part of the CME Group, the NIBA presented our first member meeting.
This September 14, the CME Group will host the NIBA 25th Anniversary Conference at its Chicago office. This year’s sessions include a compliance “debate,” a business development session and a CTA panel discussion focused on trend following. Registration is open now.
NIBA welcomes and greatly appreciates our new team members: FIS, The Gemini Companies and Phillip Capital.
Phil Jackson, former coach of the Chicago Bull’s once said, “ The strength of the team is each individual member. The strength of each member is the team.”
To join the team, please contact John Jensen (IBs/CTAs/APs); Ralph Preston (Service Providers); Mike Burke, or Steve Petillo (FCMs or Exchanges); Ryan Griffeth, or Brian Gaffud (Sept. Member Conference.)
Best, Melinda
