OSC seeks applications for Investor Advisory Panel

TORONTO, Sept. 16, 2024 /CNW/ - The Ontario Securities Commission (OSC) is inviting applications for membership on its independent Investor Advisory Panel (IAP), an advisory committee to the OSC that provides the primary retail investor perspective on policy, rule-making and other regulatory initiatives.

The IAP advises and comments on proposed rules, policies and investor protection issues. It considers the views of a broad range of investors by consulting with them and organizations representing investors.

The IAP is an important voice for investors in the regulatory process. New IAP members will be selected to ensure the panel continues to:

• represent a broad range of relevant experience, skills, knowledge and investor and other perspectives;
• fulfill its mandate; and
• operate productively as a collaborative team.

Members are appointed for terms of up to two years and will be compensated for their time in meeting the IAP's mandate.

The term for some IAP members have ended or will end in the coming year. New members will be appointed to staggered terms beginning at different points depending on when vacancies arise.

A selection committee consisting of the OSC's Chief Executive Officer and two Executive Vice Presidents will interview short-listed candidates and appoint the new members.

If you are interested, please submit your resume indicating your relevant experience by Wednesday, October 16th to [email protected].
