The Securities & Exchange Commission is facing more challenges today than ever in the federal agency's history.

George Canellos, Regional Director of the SEC's New York Regional Office, will share his perspective on the current challenges facing the SEC, the nature of enforcement and examination operations that he leads, and where he sees the SEC headed.
