The Alabama Senate has confirmed the appointment of New Commissioner R. Austin Huffaker, Jr. to the Alabama Securities Commission (ASC). Mr. Huffaker was appointed to replace Commissioner Everett Price who completed his term with the Commission.

ASC Director Joseph Borg stated: “We welcome Commissioner Huffaker and look forward to his experience and insight on our Commission.

Commissioner R. Austin Huffaker, Jr. was recommended by his professional peers from the Alabama Bar Association. Appointed by Governor Robert Bentley, he was confirmed by the Alabama Senate and will serve a four-year term.
