The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) launched a new Small Business Capital Formation Advisory Committee to ensure that emerging companies have a voice in SEC decision-making. One of the founding members of the Advisory Committee will be Terry McNew, president and CEO of MasterCraft Boat Holdings–an 882-employee boat manufacturer based in Vonore, Tenn.

The Advisory Committee will work with the SEC’s Advocate for Small Business Capital Formation to advise the SEC on problems that small businesses have in securing access to capital, identify areas in which small businesses and their investors would benefit from changes to existing rules and regulations, and propose appropriate reforms to the SEC and Congress.

Prior to joining MasterCraft in 2012, McNew was the Executive Vice President of Product Development and Engineering, Manufacturing, and Quality for the Brunswick Recreation Boat Group.
