Bond Group Counsel Shifts to New Post

George Miller, deputy general counsel of The Bond Market Association, is stepping down from that post in order to step up to his new position as executive director at one of the association's affiliates, the American Securitization Forum.An ASF spokeswoman said she had no immediate comment on how the move would affect the work Mr. Miller has been responsible for at the association. The Bond Market Association is a trade group that has long worked to promote best-practices guidelines for sell-side debt market participants. The ASF is a newer affiliate that more specifically focuses on U.S. securitization market issues and has a broader membership that includes buy-side as well as sell-side market participants. The memberships of both groups include mortgage industry professionals. TBMA can be found on the Web at http://www.bondmarkets.com.
