RMA Committee on Â鶹´«Ã½ Lending
The primary objective of the committee is to promote sound securities lending practices within its members and the industry. The committee is responsible for building and maintaining relations with the institutions engaged in the lending of securities worldwide. It provides direction for RMA activities and products pertaining to the securities lending industry. This includes educational training, conferences, roundtables, surveys, publications, and liaisons with other lending associations. The committee also provides representation for its constituents with governmental agencies and officials.
