As Dave blogged last month, the SEC is seeking candidates to join the Investor Advisory Committee, which advises the Commission on a wide array of issues. In this 12-minute podcast, I talked with JW Verret about his experience on the IAC – including:

1. What the SEC’s Investor Advisory Committee does, and how he got involved

2. Specific initiatives that he’s looking forward to seeing the IAC tackle in the upcoming year

3. His open call for comment on digital asset regulation – based on the IAC’s recent hearing on crypto

4. How the SEC uses the input that the Investor Advisory Committee provides

5. Suggestions for those who are interested in being appointed to the IAC, in response to the SEC’s call for candidates

One of JW’s suggestions for anyone interested in getting involved with the IAC is to watch the Committee’s open meetings to get a sense of what they do. Those are available via live webcast – and the next one is next Thursday, March 10th. The agenda includes departing remarks from JW as well as Paul Mahoney, who are both rotating off the IAC. The Committee will also discuss cybersecurity and other matters.

For this podcast, we have also posted a short transcript, to give our members an extra way to absorb the info. (If you aren’t yet a member, sign up by emailing sales@ccrcorp.com or calling 800-737-1271.)
