From our review of FINRA’s website information on diversity and Regulatory Notice 21-17, it is our opinion that your efforts are commendable and on target to promoting and encouraging diversity in the industry and at FINRA. The programs that you have established e.g. your Internal Racial Justice Task Force, Annual Diversity Summit and the Racial Justice Task Force should help identify barriers to inclusion in the industry and consequently, provide remedies to overcome such impediments.
