The first meeting of the SEC’s Investor Advisory Committee took place on July 27, 2009.
From the speech of SEC Commissioner Luis Aguilar:
With the launch of the Investor Advisory Committee, the Commission is signaling that it is returning to its roots as the investor’s advocate. As Congress and the Commission look toward regulatory restructuring and reinvigorating the Commission with new authority and enhanced resources to fulfill its mission as the country’s capital markets regulator, it is imperative that we listen to the voices of investors. The heart and soul of this agency is investor protection…The need to restore the voices of investors has never been more vital.
