The Mutual Fund Dealers Association of Canada is looking for some new blood for its key policy advisory committee.

The MFDA is seeking new members to fill vacancies on its committee, which provides advice to MFDA staff on regulatory and policy initiatives and industry trends and practices; and also advises staff, upon request, on the legal, regulatory and market implications of any aspect of MFDA rules, policies and operations.

The members of the committee are generally senior compliance staff of MFDA members, and they are selected with a view to ensuring a reasonable representation of the diversity of MFDA membership. Expertise in an area of special interest to the MFDA may also be a factor in selection. Larry Waite, the MFDA’s president and CEO, selects the members of the PAC based on the recommendation of MFDA staff.

It is expected that the committee will meet at least quarterly, and that committee members will be expected to attend (in person or by conference call) all the meetings, and to volunteer time to assist MFDA staff when necessary.

The deadline for applications is February 29.
