The SEC recently announced that the annual Government-Business Forum on Small Business Capital Formation will be held on November 20th at the SEC in Washington. The morning session of the forum will feature panel discussions on the definition of an accredited investor and secondary market liquidity for securities of small businesses. During the afternoon session, as in prior years, participants will formulate specific policy recommendations. The policy recommendations emerging from the Forum in the past have eventually found their way into proposed or new regulations.
