CFA Chicago Welcomes New CEO and PresidentDear CFA Society of Chicago - It is my pleasure to introduce to you the Society's new CEO and President, Angela McKay, CAE. After an extensive search, Ms. McKay was selected by the Board of Directors to replace Jill Epstein, the Society's former CEO and President. Ms. McKay's extensive association experience at the Academy of General Dentistry, Professional Convention Management Association and Healthcare Financial Management Association will be a great asset to the Society. Ms. McKay joined the Society on January 4th and has been busy at work ensuring a smooth transition. Angela McKay previously served as the Director, Constituent Services for the 35,000-member Academy of General Dentistry (AGD) in Chicago. In her role, Ms. McKay oversaw all aspects of constituent services, programs and communications. She was the primary contact for over 800 leaders and built a strong relationship with members by focusing resources on the training and development of constituent Boards and new volunteer leaders. Prior to joining the AGD, Ms. McKay worked closely with association leadership and members at the Professional Convention Management Association (PCMA) and the Healthcare Financial Management Association (HFMA) where she began her association career in 2001. McKay graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree from Illinois State University. She is very involved with the Association Forum, an organization dedicated to advancing the professional practice of association management, and served as the Component Relations SIG Chair from 2007-2008. Ms. McKay is also an active member of the American Society of Association Executives and obtained her Certified Association Executive designation in 2009. An Illinois native who currently resides in Chicago, she and her husband, Shaun, welcomed their first son in August last year. In addition to spending time with their family, they serve as mentors to a high school student through Partnership to Educate & Advance Kids (PEAK), a charitable organization providing opportunities for at-risk youth. Please join me in welcoming Angela McKay to the Society. Ms. McKay can be reached at amckay@cfachicago.org.
