Dave A. Sanchez — he is the Director of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s Office of Municipal Securities (appointed April 2022) and is the speaker identified by the “sanchez” path in the URL.
A free, virtual two‑day compliance-outreach program jointly run by the SEC, FINRA and the MSRB that provides regulatory and compliance briefings for municipal-market professionals (e.g., municipal advisors, dealers/underwriters, issuer officials, counsel and compliance staff).
Generally: municipal issuers/obligated persons, municipal advisors, municipal securities dealers (broker‑dealers/underwriters), and other municipal-market professionals (counsel, finance officers, compliance officers). Event descriptions from the SEC/MSRB/FINRA use the same categories.
On the SEC newsroom listing for this event the full remarks and materials are posted at the linked SEC speeches page; the item’s link (and the SEC speeches page) contains the full text and any accompanying slides or materials when published.
Common topics emphasized at these outreach events include securities-law disclosure and anti‑fraud obligations (materiality), MSRB rules on priority and pricing (e.g., fair access/priority of orders), municipal advisor and dealer compliance obligations, conflicts of interest (including conduit/JPA concerns), and climate/environmental risk disclosure practices.
No — outreach remarks provide guidance, examples and supervisory priorities but do not by themselves change regulatory requirements. Compliance obligations change only through rulemaking, interpretive releases or formal rule enforcement; however, outreach signals enforcement priorities and may prompt market participants to alter practices to meet expectations.
