President George W. Bush appointed Chairman Cox to the SEC in June 2005 after the chairman had served a distinguished career as a Republican Congressman from California. In his first year at the SEC, Chairman Cox made vigorous enforcement of securities laws the agency's top priority.
Chairman Cox has assumed leadership of the global effort to provide investors with interactive data about companies and mutual funds, and has reinvigorated the agency's initiative to provide important investor information in plain English. He also is championing efforts to more closely integrate U.S. and overseas regulation in an era of global capital markets.
Institutional Shareholder Services, Inc., has accredited the conference, which is presented in partnership with Resources Global Professionals, a multinational professional services firm.
