Here’s a partial list of all the events NIBA will be involved in during the next thirty days:
- March 25: Risk Management Breakfast Meeting at Arditti Center, DePaul University in Chicago
- April 3: CFTC Roundtable in Washington DC for end users, including discussion of issues surrounding Recording Requirement 1.35
- April 15: NIBA Opinion Letter Regarding the NFA Proposed CPO/CTA Capital Requirements
- May 1: NIBA Spring Member Meeting at the New York Athletic Club in New York City.
Yes - this is a typical schedule! Every month the NIBA participates in or presents at least four or five activities which directly affect our members‘ business. Whether it is submitting an opinion on regulation or providing an educational program, NIBA members have a voice.
Each of the four dates and events for the upcoming month are more fully discussed in this newsletter. Please contribute to the discussion by sending me or any other board member an email with your suggests and comments.
This month we also note:
- The CME is still under fire for the market data fee raise. We’re still in the conversation, and would like to know if, and how, this is affecting you. Comments to Steve Petillo, petillo@coquest.com.
- We’ve begun a new feature whose purpose is to get your questions and concerns directly to the NFA officers and employees who can help - you remain anonymous. Visit Questions for the NFA? Comments for NFA? No problem just call the NIBA!
- Last month’s southern California meeting in Newport Beach, CA was great! Thank you to CME Group and the NFA for co-sponsoring a terrific event.
And congratulations to RJ O’Brien on their 100th Anniversary in the industry! Thanks RJO for being a NIBA supporter.
Best regards, Melinda
