Secretary of State Diego Morales Attends NASAA Fall Meeting

INDIANAPOLIS (September 14, 2023) – Secretary of State Diego Morales, Co-Chairman of the National Association of Secretaries of State (NASS) Securities Regulation Committee, addressed the North American Securities Administrators Association (NASAA) this week at their Fall meeting in San Diego.

Securities regulators, financial industry leaders, and investor advocates from across North America attended the annual meeting. The meeting recognizes the visionary and vital role that state and provincial securities regulators play in protecting investors from financial fraud and abuse and administering regulatory frameworks through which companies raise money.

Secretary Morales emphasized the growing importance of financial literacy programs in schools, investor education initiatives and keeping regulatory pace with the use of technology in investments.

NASAA and NASS continue to have a strong partnership. Secretary Morales was appointed as NASS Securities Committee Co-Chair in July.

“It was an honor to speak at the NASAA Fall Meeting among leaders from across North America. It has been a very active conference with meaningful interactions to further the Securities Division’s goals of encouraging capital formation and business development by maintaining the securities market,” said Indiana Secretary of State Diego Morales.

NASAA is the oldest international organization devoted to investor protection. NASAA’s membership consists of 67 state, provincial, and territorial securities administrators in the 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands, Canada, Guam, and Mexico.

Secretary Morales will serve at the NASS Securities Committee Co-Chair until the conclusion of the NASS 2024 Summer Conference.
