Financial Industry Regulatory Authority Offers Annual Conference


Based in Plymouth, Minnesota, Securus Wealth Management, LLC, provides clients with business planning, tax, and investment advice. Led by Jim Goodland, founder and president, the firm includes a team of fiduciary experts to help clients expand their businesses, manage taxes, and retire comfortably. Securus Wealth Management maintains membership with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA).

Although not technically a part of the government, FINRA is a nonprofit organization authorized by Congress to protect investors in the United States. It ensures that the securities industry conducts fair and honest business. In 2015 alone, FINRA brought more than 1,500 disciplinary actions against registered brokers and firms. It also levied almost $100 million in fines.

Each year FINRA hosts a conference where members convene and gain training. The 2017 annual conference is scheduled for May 16-18 in Washington, DC. However, if members cannot physically attend the conference, they can watch audio or video broadcasts live online. Online participants will have access to all the conference materials and will have the opportunity to ask real-time questions. Most of the recordings can be accessed on demand, allowing members to catch up on any missed sessions. Prior conferences featured networking opportunities, plenary sessions, and numerous speakers.
