About Boston Securities Traders Association:
In the 1930's a small group of enterprising traders within the Boston securities community banded together to form an organization which is known today as the Boston Securities Traders Association. Their intent was to create a single organization which would provide a forum for regular communication within the trading community to improve the ethics, business standards and working environment for members. On January 29th of that year, at the Boston Stock Exchange, a constitution and by-laws were adopted and the Association's first officers were elected. Today, the association continues to thrive. With approximately one hundred members at inception, the BSTA membership presently totals nearly six hundred strong and grows yearly. Currently the BSTA is one of the largest member affiliates of the Security Traders Association (STA), an international organization representing over 5,000 traders throughout the U.S., Canada and Europe.
Throughout its storied history, the BSTA has consistently promoted the best interests of the securities profession and that of the association through meetings, dinners and social outings. Today that tradition continues with educational and charitable events hosted during the year, to include the Annual Conference, the Autumn Harvest Party, held in honor of retired members and the association's December Annual Meeting.
The Boston Securities Traders Foundation was established in recent years with a focus on assisting local charities that lack strong fundraising capabilities. Recipients of the generous efforts of the BSTF include the City of Boston Scholarship Fund, the Cotting School of Lexington and the Boston Rescue Mission.
As a volunteer organization, the BSTA is fortunate to be again well represented and served this year by a highly motivated group of governors and officers who sit on the Board. Their great enthusiasm, professionalism and dedication serve them and the membership well in executing their duties on various committees.
