Please join us for a moderated conversation with current and former leaders of the office who will discuss a range of topics that have impacted and defined the office over time, including its unique focus areas, seminal enforcement cases and examination initiatives, critical challenges, evolving programs and staffing, unique traditions and culture, and working relationships with SEC headquarters, state and local authorities, exchanges, and other entities.
