Quotes
10:35-11:06 – “So for those of you who don’t know, the NSCP took the charge in creating a proposal for a Compliance Advisory Committee to be permanently instilled within the SEC. And the intent of that is so that compliance professionals can give real-time live feedback to the SEC in regard to proposals, rules, implementation, things that they’re thinking about, educational opportunities, directly from the compliance professionals that are affected by those items every day.” – Melissa
17:16-17:42 – “Sometimes it’s about innovation and reinventing, and a lot of these listening tours have told us that, you know, we’re doing things, and we’re doing them well. As Heather pointed out, our biggest differentiator is we are for the individual compliance professional, and to be able to give them real takeaways that help them do their job every day, but also to evolve in their professional development. And so we wanted to make sure that we weren’t losing our roots.” – Melissa
25:26-26:01 – “The concept is that it would give the SEC direct access to, you know, the practical perspective of those who are responsible for making regulatory requirements work in real-world environments. I mean, better implementation begins with better understanding, and so the comment letter process, as we all know, it happens, you know, once the proposal is out the door, and this is a mechanism that’s earlier and more effective regulatory engagement.” – Heather
32:42-33:15 – “This allows you, at the National Conference, to hear from so many different perspectives and experiences in one place in three days. This is one that, you know, our team- everybody’s got their hand up to come to this conference because they are looking to get that information. And because there’s multiple tracks, you know, we send as many people as we can so that we can hear from all these different speakers.” – Heather
