On April 1, 2014, the CT Chapter of ACAMS hosted a speaker series event at the University of Connecticut in Stamford, CT. The speakers were: Philip Masquelette (moderator, Naugatuck Valley Savings and Loan), Vasilios Chrisos (Ernst and Young), Richard Elomaa (CT Chapter co-chair, Phoenix Life Insurance Co.), James Holderman (GE Capital), and Innessa Levina (Peoples United Bank). 

The industry experts spoke to Financial Crimes Enforcement Network’s (FinCEN) proposed ruling on customer due diligence (CDD) and beneficial ownership, as it may pertain to the financial, insurance, commercial finance and securities industries. More than 80 anti-money laundering (AML) professionals attended the event and many contributed to the open discussion.

Since the first communication of the speaker series event in March 2014, four ACAMS members have joined the CT Chapter. Thank you for your continued support! If you are interested in joining the CT Chapter and attending future events for free, please visit the ACAMS online store for more information.
