Adilya Kanyazova, CFA, is Senior Analyst, Special Loans and Advisory Services, RBC and a CFA Society Toronto Volunteer.

Adilya is a project volunteer and was also in the Social Media Taskforce. Project volunteers play a crucial role. They participate as both a program and event assistant. Program Assistants activities can include judging for one of our competitions, sitting on a committee task force or helping with outreach activities. Event Assistants help our events team with event preparation and on-site event activities. Project Volunteers are contacted with short-term volunteer opportunities throughout our volunteer year and pick up those opportunities that interest them and fit into their schedules.

"I can say with full confidence that my volunteering experience for the CFA Society has been tremendously fulfilling. I am someone who is passionate about giving back to the community and helping others. This motivated me to be a part of numerous initiatives. The initiatives ranged from volunteering at the CFA Annual Investment Dinner to helping out with the social media campaigns. I’ve also got the chance to be an Industry Mentor for the CFA Institute Research Challenge. Volunteering has allowed me to not only contribute my skills but also make meaningful connections! "
