Global Passport Program

For Member Societies

  • Our Strategy
  • Member Value
  • Delivering Member Value
  • Global Passport Program

If your society is looking to increase the value it provides to members, consider a collaborative effort with other global societies to enhance local member benefits through shared programming. The CFA Societies Global Passport Program encourages your members to attend programs hosted by other member societies.

What Are the Benefits?

The potential benefits of participating in the Global Passport Program include:

  • enhanced member value through opportunities for extended global networking and access to global professional development opportunities (while reinforcing the value of local society membership),
  • promotion of CFA Institute Continuing Education credits, and
  • increased promotion of the society’s brand to other members and markets.

How to Participate

The following steps offer a checklist of items for societies when considering in participating in the Global Passport Program:

1. Program Considerations

  • Program eligibility: Determine what existing programs will qualify for the Global Passport Program. Are all society programs eligible or will it be limited to specific programs? If it is limited to specific programs, how will you define what constitutes a qualifying program? Then consider how your society will advertise eligible and noneligible programs.
  • Pricing: Offer the visiting member the local member rate.
  • Member confirmation: To verify membership status, utilize the CFA Institute Member Directory or contact the member’s home society for confirmation. Also consider who will be responsible for researching this information.
  • Society collaboration: Consider how you will remain in contact with other societies to share your events (internal) and promote their events (external).
  • Communications and usage: Consider how to promote the benefits and how members can access them. What is the process for members to take advantage of these benefits? Would you want to capture data to maintain usage information?
  • Board discussion: Discuss the Program with your board and seek approval, if needed.

2. Execution

  • Marketing campaign: Consider how you plan on marketing the Program. Marketing the Program can be a collaborative effort (same-day promotion with participating societies). How will you promote the Program to your members (emails, advertisements, newsletter updates, annual reports, social media, etc.)?
  • Promotion: Update the society website, event information, other marketing information, and email templates.
  • Launching the Passport Program: Introduce the Program to all active members through an email communication or other promotions.
