Four years ago, NIBA created an Advisory Group (AG). The AG includes participants from all areas of the derivatives industry --including among others, regulation, agriculture, marketing, legal, education and brokerage. The purpose of the group is to advise, suggest and create dialogue which will help the board of directors develop and implement programs which meet its mission to provide education, compliance information and revenue-generating ideas to our members.
Rodney Dow, (The Dow Corp) is the NIBA board member who currently chairs the AG, which meets once each year. This year’s meeting is scheduled for November 28. The Advisory Group for the 2018 Meeting includes:
* Mackenzie Billings, CME Group (Exchange Issues)
* Mike Dancey, Managed Accounts Research, Inc. (Managed Funds)
* Rob DeMuria, Compliance Supervisors, Inc. (NFA Regulation/Compliance)
* Paul Georgy, Allendale, Inc. (Agriculture & IB Issues)
* Dr. Carl Luft, DePaul University (Education Initiatives)
* Tom McCarthy, Liccar (Accounting/Tax Issues)

* Mike Phillips, VSEC (Cybersecurity)
* John Roe, BTR Trading (CTA & Customer Issues)
* Mark Ruddy, Ruddy Gregory Law Firm (CFTC Regulation & Law)

Thanks to Mark Harburda (Barchart), Kelly Hartman (CME Group), Mark Shore (Shore Capital Management) and Ginger Szala (Szala Ink) who are rotating off the AG after three years of service.
