The SIFMA Organization
Members and Purpose
The Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association (SIFMA) brings together the shared interests of hundreds of securities firms, banks and asset managers. SIFMA's mission is to support a strong financial industry, investor opportunity, capital formation, job creation and economic growth, while building trust and confidence in the financial markets. SIFMA, with offices in New York and Washington, D.C., is the U.S. regional member of the Global Financial Markets Association (GFMA). For more information, visit www.sifma.org.
Board of Directors
SIFMA's staff and the President & CEO report to SIFMA's Board of Directors, which manages the business and affairs of the Association. There are between 36 and 40 Directors at any given time whose three year terms are staggered equally. The Board sets the Association's priorities and determines positions on matters of public policy. To ensure a comprehensive representation of the industry, the governing by-laws dictate that the Board is geographically diverse, includes both small and large firms and consists of broker-dealers, asset managers and firms that support independent contractors. There are five subcommittees of the Board of Directors: the Executive Committee; Audit / Finance Committee; Compensation Committee; Nominating Committee; and Membership Committee.
SIFMA Standing Committees
SIFMA has approximately eighty standing committees and four professional Societies. In addition, task forces and subcommittees meet and evolve to address specific topical needs as they arise. Through these functions, thousands of industry participants gather to share their views and ensure their collective voice is heard by governments across the globe.
