BCN 2005/01 - Membership in the Securities Law Advisory Committee [BCN - Lapsed]

The Commission is seeking expressions of interest from British Columbia securities law practitioners who are interested in becoming members of the Securities Law Advisory Committee (SLAC).

We are looking for three to four additional members who, together with existing members, will provide a cross-section of expertise and cover the spectrum of securities law practice in British Columbia. SLAC is composed of ten to twelve members, consisting of the Vice-Chair of the Securities Law Subsection of the British Columbia branch of the Canadian Bar Association and nine to eleven other members. 

The terms of existing members are staggered, with four ending on March 31, 2005, four ending on March 31, 2006 and three ending on March 31, 2007. Following this search process, we plan to appoint three or four individuals for a term of three years starting on April 1, 2005 and ending on March 31, 2008. 

SLAC generally meets on the second Wednesday of each month from 8:30 to 10:00 am. SLAC advises the Commission on rules and policy initiatives, provides important feedback on capital market trends and acts as a consultative body on emerging or important issues.

If you are a securities law practitioner and would like to become a member of SLAC, please forward your resume to the attention of the Chair of the Commission no later than February 4, 2005. SLAC is an important link between the Commission and the securities bar. We look forward to the contribution new members will make to SLAC.
