WASHINGTON – The Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board has tapped Susan Collet to become head of legislative affairs, overseeing its congressional and federal government activities.
She will join the MSRB on June 13 and will replace Lev Bagramian who left the board in January after almost two and a half years to move to Better Markets, Inc. as senior securities policy advisor.
Collett will join the MSRB after serving as president of H Street Capitol Strategies, LLC, a government relations consulting firm. Before that, she was government relations director at Bond Dealers of American for two years. She also held government relations posts at the American Public Power Association and the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association from 2001 through 2012.
Collet has a BA from St. Mary's College of Maryland.
"Susan brings more than two decades of government relations experience to the MSRB, said the board executive director Lynnette Kelly. "As head of legislative affairs, Susan will manage our relationships with Capitol Hill and various federal agencies, and help ensure that the MSRB continues to serve as an effective resource and advisor to policy and other government entities."
"I'm pleased to be continuing a career focus on municipal securities policy with the MSRB. Its mission influences a market that touches so many important aspects of daily life and is the underpinning for sustaining successful communities," Collet said.
The MSRB provides information, technical assistance and other support to members of Congress, the administration and other federal policymakers related to the its statutory mandate to protect investors, municipal entities and the public interest.
