RE: INSTITUTE AVAILABILITY ON JANUARY 20, 2005 INAUGURATION DAY
On January 20, 2005, the Federal Government, including the SEC, will be closed for the 55th
Presidential Inauguration. Given our proximity to the White House, the Institute is within the
highest security zone. All streets and parking facilities within a several block radius of the
Institute will be closed. In consideration of street closings and public transportation
disruptions, local authorities have advised businesses in our building to limit the number of
staff working that day.
The Institute will remain open. However, only a small group of staff designated to perform
critical services and handle unforeseen emergencies (e.g., communication with members, the
SEC and Nasdaq regarding pricing difficulties) will be in the office. Other staff members will be
working from home on January 20th. If you need to speak with a staff member, please call their
office phone number. Staff will return phone messages. We do not anticipate any significant
disruption to normal business operations and member services. In the event of an unforeseen
emergency, our member website will be updated.
If you need to reach someone in our offices on the 20th, please call the following people:
