Last month I got a chance to attend a panel discussion addressing the past, present, and future of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Richard Walker moderated the panel with current SEC Chair Mary Schapiro and former SEC Chairs Richard Breeden and Harvey Pitt.
I originally learned about the opportunity through my accounting professor and subsequently signed up online. The process was surprisingly easy to do, as the event, sponsored by the Fordham Corporate Law Center, was open to the general public. The Center actually holds regular events like the SEC panel at the Lincoln Center campus, just a ride away on the Ram Van, Fordham's inter-campus transportation. This makes this readily and easily accessible for students at either campus, undergraduate or not.
The panel began slowly, starting with an overview of the creation of of the SEC, followed by a loose discussion of its history. However, the dialog didn't get notably interesting until the topic of the future for the SEC was broached. You can see the panel for yourself below:
