CIRO’s Board of Directors represents the pan-Canadian organization’s diverse stakeholders and provides different regional perspectives. The newly elected Board is comprised of the same Directors initially approved as part of the amalgamation of the Investment Industry Regulatory Organization of Canada (IIROC) and the Mutual Fund Dealers Association of Canada (MFDA). This will ensure continuity and expertise as CIRO continues its mission that was set in motion just over nine months ago.

“I would also like to express my thanks to our Board of Directors. I value your support, guidance and counsel during these unprecedented times,” said Andrew J. Kriegler, President and CEO, CIRO.
