In December 2009, SIFMA established the Professional Societies to promote the benefits of educational opportunities, sharing of best practices and peer-to-peer networking among financial service industry professionals. The Professional Societies are: the Compliance and Legal Society, the Internal Auditors Society, the Financial Management Society, and the Operations and Technology Society.
The Operation and Technology Society is represented by six diverse Sections organized along business lines. The Sections are Corporate Actions, Credit & Margin, Customer Account Transfer, Data Management, Securities Lending, and Securities Operations. These Sections continue to have their distinct missions, yet are also strengthened by a collective affiliation in the Operations and Technology Society.
In her role at SIFMA, Ms. Alvo will be responsible for oversight and the continued growth of the Professional Societies.
Ms. Alvo received her Master’s Degree in business administration from the Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania, where she majored in strategic management. She has a B.A. in Political Science from McGill University.
