Three candidates will be squaring off for an open small-firm seat on the board of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority Inc., the regulator announced last Monday. The small-firm candidates are Kevin Carreno, part owner and general counsel of International Assets Advisory LLC in Orlando, Fla.; Stephen Kohn, president of Stephen A. Kohn & Associates Ltd. in Lakewood, Colo.; and Dock David Treece, a partner at Toledo, Ohio-based Treece Financial Services Corp. All three were able to collect signatures from 3% or more of the 4,059 small Finra member firms, which are defined as having no more than 150 registered persons. All small-firm candidates must qualify for the Finra ballot by the petition process. Read Investment News report here.
