Ally: To join with another person or group to get or give support -
Merriam-Webster Dictionary, 2016
NIBA is fortunate to have several incredible allies. DePaul University, our academic partner in Chicago, co-sponsored our summer briefing July 14. Over 130 NIBA members and supporters registered for afternoon business sessions which included a look at the managed futures world from a compliance and regulation point of view, and an overview of cybersecurity readiness.
Articles following up on the discussions sparked by the DePaul sessions appear in this newsletter, and we’ll post the program video as soon as it is available. Thanks to Jerry Nolan, Carla Peterson, Dr. Carl Luft and the entire committee for a successful meeting.
Thanks also to another great ally, Exchange Analytics for providing members in attendance with coupons for free online AML and Cybersecurity Training.
The CME Group is one of NIBA’s most important allies. On September 14, the NIBA Annual Membership Meeting will take place at the CME Group Building in Chicago. This is a full-day of education and information focused on compliance and business growth. Registration is now open; a full agenda will be posted shortly.
NIBA’ s Resource Committee relies on its allies for suggestions and other input to make this membership benefit valuable to members. The committee will begin posting white papers, research reports and other materials to the NIBA Website. Contact chairman Tom Sandy with questions or to volunteer.
FCMs and Service Providers are among the NIBA allies which we count on for support. Welcome to Phillip Capital, FIS and Gemini.
NIBA wants to strengthen our ties by allying with providers of services and goods that our members use to better serve their customers and to grow their businesses. Please contact me (melinda@futuresrep.com) or any board member if you would like to be a NIBA Ally.
Best, Melinda
