Financial Industry Regulatory Authority- Partners with Operation Hope We introduced Operation Hope at FINRA last fall in 2011. CEO Rick Ketchum thought this program partnered with our FINRA mission while also promoting employee volunteerism across our organization. Initiated a pilot program by recruiting 50 volunteers through out our organization.
FINRA Program Goals Partnering with Operation HOPE allows FINRA to further support its mission of Investor Protection and Market Integrity by: • Educating future investors in traditionally underserved communities. • Increasing the awareness of FINRA and our mission in the communities where we have a presence. • Increasing the awareness and understanding of the value of diversity (thought, economic status, demographic) amongst our employees and in our communities. • Providing opportunities for FINRA employees to actively participate in enhancing a diverse, inclusive and respectful environment at FINRA and in our communities.

Operation Hope Current State Employees are enjoying the program and finding it rewarding. “Meeting with a training prior to the event with Jose was beneficial and inspiring, Jose went through the curriculum and gave tips/stories that they were able to use during the session” “The session put the employees at ease for the session and it was nice to have his guidance” “Event was very organized” “The event on 2/15 went very smoothly – Tara was very organized” “Had a lot of fun with the children”
Future of Operation Hope at FINRA The Operation Hope pilot was very successful. In 2012 the program will be expanded to all employees.
