Volunteer Opportunities

CFAMN Volunteer Opportunities

Each year we see over 70 society volunteers for CFAMN in a wide variety of ways. One of the best ways to optimize your membership with CFA Society Minnesota is to get involved on a Society initiative or committee. Volunteering heightens your visibility and puts you in direct contact with other professionals in the industry. Whether you are a university student, CFA Candidate, or CFA Charterholder, there are casual, enjoyable ways to get involved in CFAMN and meet other members.

Its volunteers make presentations about the CFA Program to local universities, oversee the Society’s exam prep offerings and scholarship programs, manage the Society’s CFA Institute Research Challenge, and provide informal mentor opportunities (take intern/student meetings, host university company visits, etc.)

​The Career Development Committee provides valuable career-building events and resources for finance/investment students, CFA Candidates, Society members, and investment professionals. The focus of career development is soft skills-focused programming such as career development, speaking, writing, networking, and more!

Advocacy Committee Member

The Advocacy/Career Development Committee utilizes a project-based approach to providing programming and other engagement opportunities for members and the broader community that elevate our local brand awareness and enhance the industry. With that in mind, we are looking for individuals who are interested in supporting our advocacy committee efforts through our ongoing programming and/or any new ideas that might be percolating.
