About the Society Awards Programme

The Society Awards Programme consists of a two-phased application process. Phase 1 is a short form application, and then finalists are selected to proceed to a more rigorous Phase 2 application process.

All finalist applications were evaluated by a panel of judges consisting of CFA Institute staff, current President Council Representatives, and past Volunteer of the Year award winners.
