Inclusion at the SEC: A Historical Perspective

The SEC Historical Society and Howard University School of Law are holding an in-person program featuring the Director of the SEC’s Office of Minority and Women Inclusion and three former SEC Chairs who served during the first decade of that office’s operations. The program is described as follows:

In this program, you’ll learn about OMWI’s origin and mandate as part of the Dodd-Frank Act and how the office was stood up by the Commission. The panelists will examine the office’s goals, priorities, challenges, and successes throughout the past decade since its establishment in 2012, and explore what the next 10 years may hold as the office leads the Commission’s diversity and inclusion efforts.

The panelists will include Former SEC Chairs Jay Clayton, Mary Schapiro and Mary Jo White, Pamela Gibbs, the Director of the Office of Minority and Women Inclusion and my Morrison Foerster colleague Haima Marlier, who serves as a trustee of the SEC Historical Society. You can register for the event at the SEC Historical Society’s website.
