MISSION:To enhance the investment profession by promoting high ethical behavior, professional excellence, and fellowship through offering quality, innovative programming.

VISION:We envision a CFA Minnesota that is:

Widely recognized, well respected and highly valued by investors, academia and the business community in our region.

A society whose members are actively committed to enhancing the value of the organization by willingly giving of their time as volunteers

Continuously experiencing growth due to its unerring responsiveness to the needs of its members and its success at developing a strong sense of community amongst investment professionals within our region.

OBJECTIVES:Multi-year areas of focus that will guide us in fulfilling our mission and achieving our Vision are:

Board Development – Strengthen the CFA Minnesota Board of Directors by implementing formal position descriptions, accountability standards, refining by-laws and diversifying and growing membership. Transition from a working board to one that is more strategically focused.

Innovative Programming:Increase Value – Provide the highest quality, relevant deliverables and thereby increase

perception of value to members. Member Engagement – Increase attendance at events by 10% each of the next 3 fiscal years. Increase involvement of membership to 40% by developing and implementing a pipeline for volunteer participation. Educational Offerings – Expand current partnerships with exam prep providers and academic institutions. Develop and implement mentoring programs. Continue and expand scholarship offerings. Create and promote student membership level.

Outreach – Broaden awareness of charter and our society through a campaign focusing on top employers, local CIOs, academia, and the general public.
