Open call for Committee members:

Want to get more involved with the CFA Society Calgary?

Our volunteers are at the heart of our work, and we have four standing committees that work closely with staff and the Board of Directors to plan Society activities. These committees meet monthly from September to June each year and are integral in offering diverse learning products, providing member value, and shaping the future.

To participate as a committee volunteer, you must be a regular member of the CFA Society Calgary in good standing for the member year 2026-2027. Committee positions are a one year commitment.

Advocacy Committee: shaping the future of the industry by engaging with local industry representatives and contributing local thought leadership.
Candidate Engagement Committee: engaging with local universities and student groups; developing programs for currently enrolled Candidates. Ideally seeking newer CFA Charterholders.
Education Committee: developing a diverse portfolio of PL-credited learning products.
Member Services Committee: building community and providing member value.

Please send your resume to bmccraw@cfacalgary.com by June 16, and include the volunteer position(s) you are interested in. We look forward to hearing from you!
