Congratulations to the NIBA on its 30th anniversary! As the self-regulatory organization for the derivatives industry, a critical element of NFA's mission is to ensure that all NFA Members understand their regulatory obligations. During the past few decades, NFA and the NIBA have often collaborated to develop educational materials, draft notices and deliver programs specifically customized for the NIBA's membership. NIBA Chairman and Founder Melinda Schramm and her team work tirelessly to identify these educational opportunities and ensure that each program successfully addresses the needs of derivatives professionals. For example, NFA and the NIBA recently delivered a webinar entitled "Navigating Regulatory Requirements in a Hybrid Environment." Feel free to access this informative webinar on NFA's website. NFA looks forward to further collaboration with the NIBA to deliver future educational programs addressing NIBA members' regulatory requirements. Best wishes to the NIBA and Melinda on many more years of success!
