2020 Society Awards Program Winners

“We send our congratulations and deep appreciation to all award winners and finalists. The CFA Society community plays an integral role in helping us to fulfill our shared mission, and we are delighted to recognize its achievements through the 2020 Society Awards Programme. Each year we are inspired by the breadth of impactful initiatives undertaken by societies and their volunteers. This year’s judges were equally impressed with the high quality of submissions and how well societies consistently display their ability to adapt and innovate.”

Randi Tolber, CFA, Head, Global Society Relations, CFA Institute

Last year, in response to society leader feedback, we enhanced the Society Awards Programme to include a two-phased application process. Phase 1 was a short form application, and then finalists were selected to proceed to a more rigorous Phase 2 application process.

All finalist applications were evaluated by a panel of judges consisting of CFA Institute staff, current President Council Representatives, and past Volunteer of the Year award winners. The judges were impressed with the high quality of the applications and appreciated the applicants’ dedication to this process. 

Our sincerest congratulations go to all societies and volunteers that applied for the 2020 Society Awards Programme.
