CFA Society Minnesota is focused on delivering member value throughout the current Covid-19 pandemic. The local society, therefore, successfully converted two planned, in-person “Putting Investors First” events in Sioux Falls and Minneapolis into one virtual event available to the entire three-state region.
Using a new Zoom meetings license – provided by CFA Institute – the local society had nearly 75 members and guests attend the live event on 7 April 2020.
The topical event discussed how the financial markets have been affected by the coronavirus pandemic, and the speakers – Strategas CEO Jason DeSena Trennert and Baird Vice Chair John Taft – closed with their thoughts on “Humanizing Wall Street”.
CFA Society Minnesota gained permission from the presenters to record the webinar, which was uploaded to its YouTube channel and announced it its weekly newsletter. In just 24 hours, the local society had over 60 views of the virtual event.
"This was our first effort to shift to a web-based event, and it was really well received. We plan to do much more of this," said the CFA Society Minnesota President Chris May, CFA.
