WASHINGTON, D.C. (January 7, 2016) – The following is a statement from Judith Shaw, President of the North American Securities Administrators Association (NASAA) and Maine Securities Administrator, regarding Patricia Struck, Wisconsin Securities Administrator, former NASAA President and Board member; Chair of NASAA’s Investment Adviser Section and State Legislation Committee; and Vice Chair of NASAA’s Board-level Committee on Senior Issues and Diminished Capacity. Ms. Struck long served the state of Wisconsin and was with the Department of Financial Institutions since its formation in 1996. She served as securities administrator since that time and had been an active NASAA member since 1994. Ms. Struck passed away on December 20, 2015.

“As Patty’s family and friends gather in Madison for her funeral service later this week, the NASAA membership extends its deepest condolences to her family. Patty’s leadership at NASAA, whether as President, a member of the Board of Directors or as a Section and Committee chair was distinguished not only by her command of the subject matter but her diplomatic skills as well. We will all miss the quiet, thoughtful leadership Patty brought. She valued respect and collaboration – two of the guiding principles of her NASAA presidency and was a strong advocate for investor protection.

“For all that Patty was to NASAA as a leader, a colleague, and a mentor she was first and foremost a friend. Patty always had kind things to say in every situation and we are better for having known her. We miss her greatly.”
