At the NAVA 2007 Operations & Technology Conference, being held from June 3-6 in Baltimore, MD, Mr. Laurie will discuss the laws, regulations and industry standards affecting electronic signatures as part of the “Straight-Through-Processing (STP) and Compliance with E-Signature, Record and Contract Laws” panel.
NAVA’s 2007 Compliance and Regulatory Affairs Conference, from June 24-26 in Washington, DC, will see Mr. Laurie contribute to a session on the electronic signature process and how to comply with Section 101(c) of ESIGN, a consumer protection mechanism that requires businesses to obtain consumers’ consent before transacting with them electronically.
Moderated by Jeremiah S. Buckley, partner, Buckley Kolar LLP and special counsel for NAVA’s STP Project, the panel will address the responsibilities of transaction participants, distributors, carriers and consumers with respect to NAVA’s STP standards.
