Bright Futures Volunteer Day – 06/23/2018
GSA Board Members spent Saturday helping at the new Bright Futures Atlanta Community Campus. This building will be used for after school programs and summer camp activities, but there is a lot of work that needs to be done to get it ready for the children. The Board was able to help demo the kitchen, remove debris and scrape door frames.

GSA’s Women in Finance Initiative
In 2015, the Security Traders Association (STA) started the Women in Finance initiative to leverage the established network, resources, and values of the STA to foster and create a culture of inclusion for women in finance. GSA, along with several other STA affiliates across the country hosted an event on April 21st. The GSA event was sponsored by Rebecca Taylor in Phipps Plaza. It was a great event, and the GSA was proud to be a part of the initiative. The campaign concluded with the STA WIF opening the NYSE on April 27th.
GSA accepted women’s business clothing which was given to Dress for Success, an international not-for-profit organization that empowers women to achieve economic independence by providing a network of support, professional attire and the development tools to help women thrive in work and in life.
GSA at the Stock Market Game Awards Luncheon
The Georgia Securities Association is proud to be a long time supporter of the Georgia Council on Economic Education. Four GSA Board Members (Kenny Jackson, Hays Evan, Russell Brown and Justin Oeltze) attended the Stock Market Game Awards Luncheon at the Georgia Freight Depot on May 3rd, 2016. Justin and Kenny spoke to the luncheon about the diversity of the GSA membership and the different roles buy-side and sell-side participants play within the industry. Congratulations to all the winners in the Georgia Stock Market Game on getting an early start to what we hope is a lifetime of fascination with the markets, economics and the financial services industry. Keep up the good work!
