As we look ahead into the new year, I am excited to share our vision for the future of CFA Society Toronto. Our recently approved three-year strategic plan sets a clear roadmap for advancing our new North Star by growing and enhancing our diverse and dynamic community. 

Our strategic focus is on three key pillars: 

1. Member Experience 

We are committed to delivering an outstanding, highly personalized member experience. This includes introducing new learning formats, expanding online engagement platforms, and tailoring resources to support your career growth. Recognizing that each member’s journey is unique, we aim to provide the tools and opportunities to help you succeed. 

2. Influence and Impact 

We aim to amplify our influence within the investment and financial services industry. By leveraging digital media and collaborating with strategic partners, we will offer exclusive learning opportunities and elevate the profile of our Society and its members. Our goal is to position CFA Society Toronto as a thought leader and advocate for the highest standards of ethics and professional excellence. 

3. Operational Excellence 

Pursuing excellence in our operations is essential. We will revamp our volunteer programs to offer more flexible and meaningful engagement opportunities and refresh our website for an improved user experience. By enhancing our operational efficiency, we can better serve you and adapt to the evolving demands of our industry. 

I encourage you to visit cfatoronto.ca for more details and regular updates about our strategic plan and the initiatives we have planned for the coming year. We are eager to share how these developments will benefit you directly.
