These councils provide guidance and direction to the FSI board and staff on issues in different areas of the industry: Compliance, Marketing, Growth & Development, Investment Advisory Services, Operations, and Financial Advisors.   

    FSI also has two task force committees, one for the annual OneVoice Broker-Dealer Conference and another for the FSI Broker-Dealer Study.
