Advocacy Committee
Staff Liaison: David McCarthy, Managing Director, Chief Lobbyist, Head of Legislative Affairs
Sairah Burki, Managing Director, Head of Regulatory Affairs and Sustainability
Purpose: The newly formed
Advocacy Committee complements CREFC’s existing Policy Committee by broadening participation in discussions around legislative and regulatory developments.
The Policy Committee, composed of Forum leadership, generally focuses on industry sector-specific concerns. The
Advocacy Committee, open to all CREFC members, will provide a vehicle for any CREFC member to weigh in on legislative and regulatory issues of critical importance to CREFC. With the new administration and Congress expected to introduce significant regulatory changes, including targeted deregulatory efforts, along with new legislation, the Advocacy Committee will serve as an essential platform for gathering industry input and shaping CREFC’s response.
