We believe that on any market issue, the outcomes that serve the best interests of the overall market also serve our members, our industry, issuers, and investors, well. We now face critical issues in the global markets – both in stability and in structure. We will continue to represent our members and provide a single voice on issues of concern.”
Said John Giesea, STA President and CEO: “Our members reflect a breadth and depth of experience and expertise in how markets operate. They are the engine that fuels U.S. trading each day. Now, more than ever, their knowledge will be required, as we navigate our way forward in these turbulent times. In our new Governors and Officers we have secured a wide diversity of market practitioners, representing all geographic areas of the country. We will continue to represent the interests of the broad trading community and provide their perspective to a wide range of constituencies.”
