Thank you for your interest in the Business Loans Coalition, the grassroots advocacy organization of the LSTA.
The Business Loans Coalition was formed by the LSTA to strengthen the voice of the industry in the federal policy arena.
The Business Loans Coalition is committed to advocating on behalf of the loan asset class and providing members with a dedicated grassroots platform to personally engage in the political process and become educated about issues important to the industry. The Coalition is the leading expert on loan syndication policy issues and exclusively represents our unique asset class.
The current political environment is hostile toward the corporate loan market, making it crucial for industry members to have a space to come together to advocate for our collective interests and market protection. The Coalition gives the thousands of people employed in the syndicated loan market an opportunity to make their voices heard in D.C. and promote policy solutions to the issues that could impact our continued success. Membership is free and must be renewed annually.
The Business Loans Coalition is temporarily governed by a four-member Board of Directors. The board members will serve two-year terms and will be selected by the Coalition’s primary member, the LSTA. One of the board seats will be subject to independent election by the BLC’s broader membership when its initial term expires.
The Coalition will establish a full nine-person Board of Directors, including the four initial members, by the end of 2024.
The Business Loans Coalition is the grassroots affiliate of the LSTA. It is dedicated to providing industry members with a platform to join together and speak with a collective voice to advocate for the interests of the loan asset class in D.C. Through the BLC, members have the opportunity to engage on legislative and regulatory issues relevant to the industry.
Annual membership is open to employees of all companies within the U.S. syndicated loan market. While most such organizations are members of the LSTA, you do not have to be an employee of an LSTA member to join the Business Loans Coalition. Membership is free and must be renewed annually.
There are many benefits to becoming a member of the Coalition including insider political information pertaining to the industry and elections, opportunities to connect with likeminded advocacy groups and access to elected officials.
