Improving Your Experience: Introducing an Enhanced Connexions

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

I’m just back from several days in Lima, Peru where the society hosted me for a whirlwind tour of meetings with senior regulators, top universities, leading asset managers, and members.

Like other emerging markets, it is inspiring to hear first-hand the respect with which the CFA Charter is viewed and the difference our standards and ethical principles are making in this developing capital market.  Many thanks to CFA Society Peru and others around the world making similar impact.

While in Lima, I also had the opportunity to speak on our diversity research at a local women’s business summit which also featured the Prime Minister and the US and UK ambassadors to Peru, who each discussed how gender equity truly matters to the country’s economy, as it does in many developing countries. I am proud that CFA Institute is taking a leading role in this space. 

Meanwhile, I’m delighted to announce the launch of an enhanced version of Connexions to improve your experience and support your ongoing success – I hope you find these enhancements valuable. Enhancements include:

  • A revamped homepage with real-time news, executive updates, and society success stories.
  • NEW strategy-focused content to better connect you with our business goals and guide you through the wealth of content, resources and best practice available in these areas.
  • NEW resource area with visibility and access to tools available to support society success.
  • NEW interactive society activity calendar outlining the important activities that affect societies, helping you to better plan and prepare for the year ahead.
  • Re-introducing featured Connexions themes to spotlight society success with important topics and initiatives, and recognize the active part you play in helping to achieve our mission.

I encourage you to explore the enhanced site, learn from other CFA Societies’ initiatives, use the CFA Institute-provided resources and share your story ideas.
