CFA SOCIETY CLEVELAND: NOT JUST FOR CFA CHARTERHOLDERS
Dear Potential Member,
Thank you for your interest in joining CFA Society Cleveland. As a member society of the CFA Institute, CFA Society Cleveland seeks to provide opportunities for professional development and fellowship among Cleveland-area investment professionals, consistent with the ideals of excellence, integrity and education as set forth by the CFA Institute. We promote the highest standard of ethics, education, and professional excellence with the intention of helping build an investment industry that serves the interests of investors and the ultimate benefit of society.
Membership in CFA Society Cleveland is not limited to CFA Charterholders. Our Local Society Membership is intended to make our Society more accessible to local investment, capital market, and finance professionals who have no intention of pursuing the CFA Charter, yet believe in the mission and vision of CFA Society Cleveland and are interested in the benefits of membership in our vibrant and widely recognized Society.
Members of CFA Society Cleveland benefit by being a part of an organization committed to professional excellence and financial market integrity, impactful local professional development opportunities such as educational programs and influential programming, providing networking opportunities with industry insiders, and providing venues to stay abreast of trends that affect the industry.
Inside this packet, you’ll find a CFA Society Cleveland fact sheet, membership application, and Professional Conduct Statement. In order to be considered for membership, please complete the membership application, attest to the PCS, and return to CFA Society Cleveland.
