SOCIETY OF MUNICIPAL ANALYSTS Over 50 Years of Serving Municipal Finance Our Mission The Society of Municipal Analysts was formed in 1965 to encourage forthright and candid conversations among industry veterans and issuers of municipal securities regarding new developments in the public finance industry. The goal of the organization is to promote the practice of credit analysis and portfolio management within the municipal bond finance industry and to provide a forum for debate discussion and continuing education. The Society is comprised of about 40 members that represent a broad spectrum within the municipal finance industry. Members are carefully selected through an internal process and when we meet we drop the guise of professional titles and engage as interested lifelong students of public finance.
