Small Firm Advisory Committee (SFAC)
The Small Firm Advisory Committee (SFAC) is an advisory committee established by the NASD Board of Governors in 1998. The SFAC ensures that issues of particular interest and concern to small firms are effectively communicated to and considered by the FINRA Board of Governors. The SFAC reviews and comments on all new and amended FINRA rule proposals, and provides guidance to FINRA staff regarding the potential impact of proposed regulatory initiatives on FINRA's small firms.
The SFAC is comprised of 10 members, five at-large members appointed by FINRA's Board of Governors, and five members elected by the small firms - one member in each of the five FINRA regions. FINRA's three small firm representatives to the Board of Governors serve as ex-officio members of the SFAC. In addition, all SFAC members are affiliated with firms employing no more than 150 registered representatives and are senior executives at their firm.
