Screen shot 2010-06-04 at 1.05.38 PMJun 4, 2010Last week FINRA held their Annual Conference in Baltimore. One of the most heavily attended sessions was the discussion on social media and Notice 10-06. Here is how FINRA described the session:

“This session addresses supervision of social media, including third-party networks, firm sponsored communities and blogs. Industry panelists discuss FINRA Regulatory Notice 10-06, what their firms do and do not allow, how they monitor activity and the types of applications they use.”

One of the panelists was Debbi Corej, a VP of Compliance at Prudential. Debbi has been a trailblazer in this space helping her firm to understand the risks and opportunities with social networks. She’s shared her insight most recently at the FINRA conference and has graciously agreed to participate in our upcoming webinar, FINRA Conference Recap on Social Media, Tuesday June 8th at 1 PM CST.
