Bill Singer Supports ROBERT MUH for FINRA Small Firm Governor
July 8, 2016
A personal note from Bill Singer,BrokeAndBroker.com Blog:
Robert A. Muh is running as a candidate for the 2016 Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA") Small Firm Governor seat on the self-regulatory organization's Board. Bob is a far more temperate and contemplative advocate
for FINRA small firms and industry reform than I, and, as such, we do not
always agree on many issues. Notwithstanding our occasional disagreements, I
have tremendous respect and admiration for Bob's intelligence and independence. Bob is committed to advancing the legitimate needs
of smaller firms and has always stood up to speak out for industry reform.
Without reservation, I support Bob's candidacy for the 2016 FINRA Small Firm Governor and urge all BrokeAndBroker.com Blog readers to press their FINRA member firm's Executive Representative to support Bob's candidacy for the Board.
Bob's impressive background is set out on his nomination website:
