"It has been a privilege to work closely with Dan Roth throughout my time as Chairman of the CFTC. We have forged an excellent relationship over the past two years, one which I have very much enjoyed. The NFA plays an important role in the markets that the CFTC regulates, and Dan’s knowledge, experience, and commitment to collaboration have been of tremendous value to our work and to me personally. I look forward to continuing to work together as the NFA searches for his replacement over the coming months.
I congratulate Dan on his record of accomplishment, I thank him for his friendship and I wish him the best of luck in all his future endeavors."
Statement of CFTC Commissioner Bowen:
"I congratulate Dan on his long and fruitful career at the National Futures Association (NFA). Dan and I started our careers in finance around the same time – he in 1983 as an attorney at NFA, and me in 1982 as a lawyer in a Wall Street firm. Needless to say, we have seen many financial ups and downs during this time, and Dan has been working with NFA to protect the markets during a variety of major events, including the 2008 financial crisis.
I truly congratulate Dan on his commitment to NFA. The success and vitality of the self-regulatory model is evidenced by own his rise from attorney, to Assistant General Counsel, to Chief Operating Officer, and finally to President and Chief Executive Officer in 2002. I hope Dan now gets some well-deserved rest, and I wish him the best of luck on his next great adventure."
