The NIBA is committed to serving the derivatives industry and as such has created an advisory group to our board. This group of highly qualified industry professionals will help to make our association even better going into our 25th year and add additional value to our members. On December 2, 2015 the NIBA we will hold its inaugural Advisory Group (AG) meeting. The focus of the AG meeting will be to review the mission and actions of the NIBA from the member's individual expert viewpoint, and advise as to effectiveness and methodology.
The individuals that have been invited to participate in the group come with diverse experiences throughout the industry. They represent exchanges, legal, compliance, operations, marketing and product research.
We also feel it is important to get fresh eyes on new issues that are of concern to the futures industry and how the association should respond to them. We want to get the AG's opinions on how we can improve, expand and measure the work we are doing now to continually improve our member’s experience.
