Good morning. I am pleased to address this Committee for the first time as a Commissioner. I was part of the Commission staff in 2009 when your predecessor committee was formed under the Federal Advisory Committee Act “to give investors a greater voice in the Commission’s work.” The following year, Section 911 of the Dodd-Frank Act statutorily mandated the establishment of this Committee,[3] which held its inaugural meeting in 2012. As a staff member, I assisted the Committee with its review of target date funds during those early years.

Following these panel discussions, the Committee will consider three distinct sets of draft recommendations, each of which is lengthy and detailed. I appreciate the Committee’s enthusiasm, which this agenda evidences.
