CFA Chicago offers diverse programming content, including local luncheon programs that attract top industry speakers, educational and career management seminars on specialized, timely topics presented by outstanding specialists in the field, as well as panel discussions addressing the unique challenges facing women in the industry and their contributions to the field, and social group outings such as happy hours and sporting events.

CFA Chicago also offers members access to exclusive on-line job postings for the industry's most lucrative career openings and 24/7 networking opportunities via the CFA Community, our social networking platform.

The work of this Society, like most societies, is best carried forward by the combined efforts of a large number of energetic people working together in a common cause; not by one person or a small group of people doing all the work under the fierce and expectant gaze of the membership. You'll get more out of the CFA Chicago if you put something into it by joining with your peers in association for the betterment of all.

The Society encourages all members to take an active part in our 10 exciting Advisory Groups. We welcome volunteers for all our Advisory Groups: Annual Dinner, Candidate Services, Career Management, C.F.A. - Cultivating Female Ambition, Communications, Education, Finance, Luncheon Programs, Recruitment, and Social. These Advisory Groups provides ample opportunity to network, build relationships, enjoy associations with peers, and develop contacts within the industry, as well as provide impetus to the improvement of the Society. learn more about the Advisory Groups and to sign up to volunteer.
