Want to get the most out of your local CFA Membership?
October Monthly Luncheon is all about Member Value
 In our recent Strategic Planning session, your Board of Directors talked a lot about member value: What value do we provide? How can we get better at it? The Society is doing a lot of things well, and being recognized for them internationally. Your society has changed a great deal over the past few years. Do you know what benefits you're paying for, but not taking advantage of? We think some of you may not... So, we've enlisted our Volunteer of the Year, Adam Palmer, and our Membership Chair, Josh Howard, to present a luncheon on getting the most from your membership. A brief overview of the society will be followed by a summary of: - Member Benefits
- Networking and Job Support Opportunities
- Intro to new series', events and educational support
- Other ways you can derive tangible value from your membership
This event is targeted to new members, new Charterholders, and especially to members who have been unengaged for the past few years. Don't just write a check, add it to your resume and forget about us -- Get involved! Thursday, October 6th, 2011 11:30am Registration opens
