MSRB AND THE MUNICIPAL FORUM OF NEW YORK TO HOST

MUNICIPAL FINANCE DAY IN WASHINGTON, DC

Washington, DC –The Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board (MSRB) and the Municipal Forum of New York are
again hosting “Municipal Finance Day” in Washington, DC on Friday, July 27, 2018. Municipal Finance Day is an
annual event for recent high school graduates participating in the 2018 Urban Leadership Fellows Program.

The Urban Leadership Fellows Program offers New York City's underserved youth the opportunity to explore careers
in finance through a paid summer internship. Participants visit Washington, DC to integrate skills gained at their
internships with an understanding of the legal, regulatory and policy implications facing the municipal securities
market.

“The MSRB has partnered with the Municipal Forum of New York on this event for the past seven years,” said MSRB
President and CEO Lynnette Kelly. “Each year we’re excited to meet the next class of bright, young people who are
interested in public finance. The MSRB is honored to have a direct role in connecting today’s industry leaders and
policymakers with the next generation.”

Featured speakers at this year’s Municipal Finance Day include Elisha Tuku, Chief Counsel, Senate Committee on
Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs (Minority); Bruce Johnson, Senior Counsel to the House Committee on Financial
Services (Minority); William Miller, Attorney-Adviser at the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission; Reginald Wells,
Senior Adjunct Professorial Lecturer in the School of Public Affairs at American University; and Lynnette Kelly, MSRB
President and CEO.

The Municipal Forum of New York has sponsored the Urban Leadership Fellows since 1992 through its Youth
Education Fund.
