Finseca NY announced its affiliation with Finseca Sept. 29.

One of the organizations that created Finseca, AALU, had been known for working to shape financial services regulations and legislation at the federal level.

Kelly Kidwell, the chair of the national Finseca board, said in the announcement that the partnership that created Finseca NY will build on Finseca's legacy of federal advocacy.

The relationship between the two groups "represents a new model for success across the country as we take the fight to state capitals," Kidwell said.

Finseca NY will start by beginning to fill in the gaps between local and federal advocacy agendas, it said.

"Coming together, working together, is something I believe we all need to do as a profession and in order to most effectively guide the consumers we serve," Held said.
