Volunteering at CFA Society Belgium


The Society’s board members are supported by a number of volunteers, contributing in specific areas. Both CFA Charterholders and candidates are welcome.

The benefits to you of volunteering are:
• Collaborate with experienced board member as sponsor
• Team work, networking and making new friends
• Opportunity to sharpen your skills in a specific area
• Volunteers may move up to join the CFA Belgium board



We realise that our members often have significant professional, family and other commitments. Therefore, we are currently proposing specific, defined volunteering opportunities, where you have visibility on what is expected.

Board Membership

Volunteering can be a good entry point to eventually join the board of the CFA Society Belgium. All board members are volunteers, supported by a part-time Society Manager. The board usually meets every two months to discuss events, trainings, candidate-support, employer, advocacy and university relations.
