A Letter from NSCP’s Executive Director Lisa Crossley and Board Chair Melissa Loner

Dear NSCP Member,

On behalf of the National Society of Compliance Professionals (NSCP), we would like to extend our sincere thanks for your membership in 2023. The compliance industry is rapidly evolving and growing, and we look to you to continue to support the association with your dues, your expertise, your time, and your energy.

As the NSCP footprint and impact on the industry grows, so does our need for additional compliance resources, educational opportunities, events, and outreach to fully serve our membership. To that end, the board has authorized a nominal dues increase to $500 starting in 2024. This is our first dues increase in over a decade, and we promise we did not make this decision lightly. We continue to balance the needs of our members with the opportunities to grow as an association. We feel this modest increase will allow the association to increase educational efforts, invest in community building initiatives and strengthen our resources to provide better support to our members.

Our efforts to bridge the relationship between regulators and compliance professionals has significantly ramped up over the past few years, in hopes of giving our industry a more united voice. An increase in strategic revenue will allow NSCP to continue these important relationship building initiatives, and advance the industry as a whole.

We will continue to enhance and expand our membership offerings, educational resources and volunteer opportunities. From NSCP Currents and the Vendor Directory to our Compliance Forum and Resource Library, we are proud to give NSCP members the tools they need to stay connected and in the know. Our annual National Conference, Industry Forums and webinars are also an integral part of the NSCP member experience, and we strive to continue bringing you these valuable and insightful events. NSCP is more than just a resource for your career – it’s a community and network of individuals ready to support you every step of the way. You can learn below about all of the current and new benefits included in your NSCP membership.

NEW Member Benefits coming in 2024:

• NSCP Currents Live – Monthly webinars on hot industry topics

• NSCP Currents On Demand – The premier compliance publication will now be published as soon as articles are available. The articles will be published on a webpage along with each Currents Live webinar. All will be on demand to members at the click of a mouse.

• Former Regulators Committee – A sub-committee of the Regulatory Advisory Committee, consisting of former regulators from the SEC, FINRA and states. The committee advises on proposed rules, helps determine if appropriate for NSCP to comment, acts as general regulatory subject matters experts for periodic consultation, assists with introductions or connection to regulators, and advises on appropriate persons and the content of NSCP regulatory engagement.

• Emerging Leaders Forum – We will be continuing the new NSCP Emerging Leaders Forum, established in 2023. The Emerging Leaders Forum is intended for compliance professionals and service providers who are newer (10 years or less) or returning to the financial services compliance profession; however, all NSCP members are welcome. The Emerging Leaders Forum meetings address topics identified by NSCP members as important to their professional development.
