“To meet other IB and CTA owners.”
“To attend the compliance sessions at the membership meetings -- I can understand what those guys are saying.”
“To make sure the CFTC hears my opinion.”
“To get first-hand knowledge of what the NFA and exchanges are doing.”
When I asked members why they belong to the NIBA, I heard those four reasons most often. That makes me proud and very happy, because those objectives are exactly what the NIBA was founded to meet.
During 2016, NIBA will celebrate its 25th Anniversary Year. Please renew or join now during our annual membership campaign. Your membership will “pay-it-forward” for:
* Admission to all three membership meetings during the year
* Your firm listing in the NIBA Online Directory
* Representation with our regulators including CFTC, NFA and the exchanges
* The NIBA electronic newsletter delivered to your in-box twice monthly
* Access to “NIBA Members Only Portal” and benefits
The NIBA spring meeting is scheduled for April 20, 1:30-6:00pm at the New York Athletic Club, New York City. Business sessions will include Jim Steel (HSBC) on metals, as well as a compliance update and a networking reception. Please contact event chairman, Howard Rennell, hrennell@e-windham.com for questions about this event or to volunteer to help out. Online registration will be open March 1.
