D&I Working Group: One-on-Ones with six leading DE&I Broker/Dealers

NeuGroup has sponsored several events where DE&I Broker Dealers discussed their participation in transactions. This event represents a unique chance to talk directly with leaders from six leading D&I firms we have invited including:

• Academy Securities
• CastleOak Securities
• Loop Capital
• Ramirez & Co.
• Seelaus
• Siebert Williams Shank

Planned agenda:

• • 15 min: Introductions (2 min each per firm)
  • 40 min:  Six Breakout Rooms – one for each firm.  A chance for members to talk directly with representatives and ask questions.  Members will have a chance to talk to more than one firm, either by allowing members to move freely across rooms, or by arranging short seven-minute one-on-one speed networking connections.
  • 5 min:  Feedback and preview of next session.

While future sessions will dig into the transactions themselves, including best practices and lessons learned, this event marks a chance to build relationships and meet new contacts.

We welcome appropriate non-NeuGroup members to attend to pilot NeuGroup and consider full-time membership. Please complete the form on this page to request admission.

NeuGroup formed the Diversity and Inclusion (D&I) Working Group in 2020 as a result of requests from members and the multiple D&I discussions appearing in individual peer group meetings. These informal working sessions provide an opportunity for interested members to share experiences on common topics, document best practices, and welcome outside experts to speak on current trends – including companies that are not yet NeuGroup members.

Working Group sessions are meant for interested participants from across the NeuGroup network and approved non-NeuGroup members. They are ad hoc cohorts that NeuGroup organizes when a critical “hot topic” has captured a wide range of members’ attention. Working Groups can meet just once, a handful of times, or become ongoing venues to discuss these cross-peer group issues. Recent examples include LIBOR transition, ESG, D&I, Treasury Technology, and others. These groups often include both subject matter experts and members just wishing to learn, with the possibility of splitting the groups for more detailed discussions.
