The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) wants to fill vacant positions on its Investor Advisory Committee (IAC). The IAC was created by U.S. law under Dodd-Frank to advise the SEC on business and investor safety.
On February 14 the commission started advertising their plan to hire representatives who wish to serve on the general membership or focus on senior financial rights. People interested in applying must do so before March 15, 2025.
How the Investor Advisory Committee Shapes SEC Regulations
The SEC policy takes direction from the Investor Advisory Committee based on their findings and advice reports sent to the organization. Through retail and institutional investors, the committee helps SEC by recommending product choices and pricing as well as trading strategy developments. Through an official declaration,n the SEC explained the main purpose behind establishing the committee:
“The purpose of the Investor Advisory Committee is to advise the Commission, protect investor interests and promote the integrity of the securities marketplace.”

As head of Trian Fund Management Brian L. Schorr leads the committee alongside Vice Chair Paul Roye of Fund Business Management Group and Secretary Colleen Honigsberg from Stanford Law School along with Assistant Secretary George S. Georgiev of Emory University.
These members bring participation from major financial organizations, top law schools, and prominent investor organizations like James Andrus from Franklin Templeton, Gina-Gail S. Fletcher from Duke Law School, and Nancy LeaMond from AARP.
Acting Chairman Mark T. Uyeda explains that the investment advisory committee needs diverse member views to achieve its goals. SEC Acting Chairman Mark T. Uyeda said:
“We look forward to receiving candidates who want to serve on the Investor Advisory Committee. Obtaining a variety of investor views helps the SEC to fulfill our mission on behalf of American issuers and investors.”
SEC’s Changing Regulatory Landscape and the Role of IAC
Those who want to join IAC must send a letter of interest to [email protected] and explain their experiences while picking a specific position. Past applicants need to renew their submissions if they want to be reviewed again.
