CFA Society Chicago's Governance and Nominating Committee is seeking nominations for qualified individuals with leadership and management experience to serve on the 2023-2024 Board of Directors.
Board of Directors Responsibilities
Board members are responsible for strategically thinking, planning and evaluating on behalf of the Society membership. Board members represent the Society in strengthening alliances, recruiting new members and building the Board's development. While CFA Society Chicago staff and volunteers typically execute programs, the Board is responsible for envisioning the direction and strategy, and evaluating success. The chair and vice chair are expected to travel globally (when permitted), representing the Society at CFA Institute events.
Candidate Criteria
The Governance and Nominating Committee will evaluate Board candidates based on their background, including their credentials, industry tenure, leadership experience and effectiveness as an internal leader at their organization. The Committee will also evaluate the candidate’s contributions/participation with CFA Society Chicago, familiarity with CFA Institute Initiatives and personal characteristics. This includes communication skills, leadership style and commitment to the highest ethical and professional standards, and commitment to inclusion, diversity, and respect among investment professionals.
Can I Nominate Myself?
Yes. CFA Society Chicago members may nominate themselves for Board service by following the same procedures they would use in order to nominate someone else.
