Statement Of CFTC Commissioner Bowen On Dan Rothâs Departure From The National Futures Association

I congratulate Dan on his long and fruitful career at the National Futures Association (NFA). Dan and I started our careers in finance around the same time – he in 1983 as an attorney at NFA, and me in 1982 as a lawyer in a Wall Street firm. Needless to say, we have seen many financial ups and downs during this time, and Dan has been working with NFA to protect the markets during a variety of major events, including the 2008 financial crisis.
