Like the SECs CCOutreach program for chief compliance officers at mutual fund companies, the CCOutreach DB National Seminar is organized for CCOs, but at broker/dealers.

The CCOutreach BD program has proven invaluable in helping the SEC understand the needs and concerns of compliance officers, said SEC Chairman Christopher Cox. This national seminar is an outstanding opportunity for broker/dealer CCOs and their regulators to discuss how to strengthen compliance within the securities laws.
