Highlights from:
CFA Society of Minnesota
2009-10 Annual Plan
an update to our 3-Year Strategic Plan
Summer 2009
Planning Excellence:
Everything we do is driven by member input.
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.
