Happy New Year and welcome to the 2020’s!  We are entering the new decade with a great sense of pride in all we have accomplished together over the past ten years and awe at the opportunities ahead.  

As we continue on the Societies 2.0 path this calendar year, we remind you of our fundamental belief that CFA Societies play an integral role across all three pillars of the CFA Institute strategy: Developing Future Professionals; Delivering Member Value; and Building Market Integrity. CFA Societies around the world are aligned in some fashion to these three objectives in their own strategic plans, making our collective global impact incredibly strong. 

As outlined in our roadmap, we continue to build on the foundations that enable Societies to deliver on these objectives and directly serve their local stakeholders, while focusing on strategic capabilities. This fiscal year is about the framework and details of execution on those capabilities.

To that end, look for a renewed focus on our members; from professional learning to building brand to industry engagement. Maintaining relevance and demand for our members and their expertise over the course of their journeys is fundamental to delivering the mission and exceptional member value throughout the world. You’ll see this profiled and explored at the Global SLC in May.

Next month, we’ll share specific plans for the Global SLC and other news. For now, our best wishes for the start of the new year.

With kindest regards,
Randi
