SIFMA Notes the Passing of Industry Leader Dale Horowitz

Washington, D.C., April 9, 2020 – SIFMA notes the passing of industry leader Gedale “Dale” B. Horowitz. Among his many accomplishments, Dale founded SIFMA’s predecessor organization, the Public Securities Association (PSA) in 1967. He also served as Chairman of the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board (MSRB) and was a long-time member of the Treasury Borrowing Advisory Committee (TBAC).

“Dale was a long-recognized industry leader whose energy and dedication knew no bounds,” said SIFMA president and CEO Kenneth E. Bentsen, Jr. “Over his 60-year career, he left an indelible mark on the securities industry who has lost a fierce advocate and devoted friend.”
