2023 STAR Conference Packages

STA’s Job Re-Entry, or “STAR” initiative, assists in the needs of individuals who have been displaced from their jobs and are seeking re-entry into the financial services industry.

STA will offer up to five (5) Complimentary Conference Registration Packages for this year's Market Structure Conference to individuals who are in between jobs and actively pursuing a new opportunity. Between the important content and education that will be presented, along with several networking opportunities, attending this conference should help you enter your next era.

Each package includes:

• One (1) registration to STA's 90th Annual Market Structure Conference
• Two (2) nights standard accommodation at JW Marriott Washington DC
• $500 travel voucher

If you or someone you know is interested in a STAR package, please contact Dawn Combs at [email protected]. As members of the STA community, the support of our colleagues and friends is key to our mission!
