SIPC Schedules Online Forums to Focus on Modernization

The Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC) will hold its first-ever online forum at 8 p.m. EDT/5 p.m. PDT on September 14, 2010.  The "listening post" session is the first of two major national public forums focused on soliciting input about the modernization of SIPC and are part of a full-scale review of the operations of SIPC, which has not been the focus of major new legislation in 30 years.

The input from the online forums will be reviewed by the 13-member SIPC Modernization Task Force, which is meeting in person and via the Internet to review and discuss the mission and operations of the Securities Investor Protection Corporation. For further information, see the SIPC website.
