Most of us have received our ballots for the upcoming NFA elections. NIBA is excited and looking forward to working with Paul Georgy and Mike Burke as the representatives for GIBs and IIBs on the NFA Board of Directors. They have both shown a deep understanding of the IB community and its needs. Paul and Mike are respected by both the IBs they represent and the regulators, and will continue to be effective voices for our opinions.
NIBA has been asked to endorse all four candidates running in the contested races for CTA/CPO positions. There are currently 18 members of the NIBA board. Eleven are NFA-registered in the IB or CTA category, and therefore, eligible to vote on this issue. All non-registered members and FCM representatives were deemed ineligible to vote.
NIBA board members were split on which candidates to support this year with John Roe and Doug Bry slightly favored in their races.
NIBA is providing the candidate's position papers, and we encourage you to vote in the NFA election. It is important for the health of the industry to support the candidate who you believe will represent you, and keep your business strong and growing. Please contact the candidates directly if you have questions.
