CFA Chicago is proud to announce the creation of a new initiative: "Investing in the Community." The goal of this program is to inform our members about Board and other volunteer opportunities that require the unique skill sets of investment professionals. While CFA Chicago is pleased to offer this service for members, we do not specifically endorse any of the organizations or their affiliates.

 

CPA Board Connection
CFA Society of Chicago has partnered with the Illinois CPA Society and their community service arm, CPAs for the Public Interest, to provide you with access to CPA Board Connection. CPA Board Connection links financial professionals with non-profit Boards and community service projects that require financial expertise. CFA Chicago members are welcome and encouraged to participate. To search the database of current openings, visit: http://www.icpas.org/hc-cpaspi.aspx?id=4936.

 

Arts and Business Council
In cooperation with the Arts and Business Council of Chicago, CFA Chicago invites members to participate in the Business Volunteers for the Arts and/or the On Board program. These programs recruit, train and place business executives on Boards and pro bono management consulting projects for non-profit arts groups.

Goldie's Place Executive and Associate Board (added 04/19/2010)
Goldie's Place is a support center for people who are homeless located at 5705 N. Lincoln in Chicago. Goldie's Place services build self sufficiency and eliminate the underlying causes of homelessness by providing dedicated individuals with the tools and foundations to gain employment. Some of the employment services Goldie's provides include employment workshops, a professional clothes closet, and dental services (nothing kills an interview like a missing tooth!). As Goldie's expands, the organization would like to add diversity to its current leadership and is specifically looking for individuals with financial skills to join both its Executive and Associate Boards.
