SEC to Host Veterans Day Program for Active Duty Service Members and Veterans

The Securities and Exchange Commission will host a Veterans Day program on Tuesday, Nov. 12. The program will feature a conversation with SEC Chairman Jay Clayton and Colonel James Tuite of the U.S. Army’s “Old Guard” that will focus on financial readiness, including the basics of saving, investing, preparing for retirement and avoiding scams, for an audience of active duty service members and veterans. Following the conversation, the SEC’s Veterans Committee will hold a Veterans Day Expo featuring several unique speakers as well as memorabilia and pictures from SEC employees’ time in service. The morning’s program is co-sponsored by the SEC’s Office of Investor Education and Advocacy (OIEA) and the SEC’s Veterans Committee as a part of the Commission’s Military Service Members Initiative announced earlier this year.
