For your awareness, beginning with this year’s volunteer cycle, many of our volunteer opportunities will be transitioning to our new volunteer platform, the CFA Institute Community (powered by Higher Logic). 

The opportunities listed below will direct you to your appropriate volunteer opportunities; however, we wanted to alert your that some of your volunteer experiences may look different that they have in the recent past. If you have any questions, please email [email protected]

Open Opportunities

Global Investment Performance Standards (GIPS®) Committees and the ESG Technical Committee


CFA Institute is actively recruiting volunteers to serve on the following committees and subcommittees: 

In addition, CFA Institute is seeking to fill the Chair position on the:

Volunteers are welcome to apply for multiple roles but will not be selected to serve on more than one committee or subcommittee within the GIPS standards volunteer bodies at the same time. Volunteers may serve on a GIPS standards committee or subcommittee and on an ESG committee or subcommittee. 

For current volunteers wishing to apply as a member of a different committee or subcommittee, you must agree to rotate off your current committee or subcommittee as of 31 August 2023 before applying for upcoming volunteer positions. If your volunteer term is expiring as of 31 August 2023, you may apply for any open volunteer role, including for your current committee or subcommittee. 

In addition to volunteer qualifications, the Nominations Committees will consider qualifications, geographic diversity, and employer diversity. Volunteers are appointed as individuals, not as representatives of their employer, and thus cannot assign a proxy to serve in their absence. 

For this cycle, we are using a new volunteer platform. The CFA Institute Community (powered by Higher Logic) houses all volunteer application details and information for the committee/subcommittee positions mentioned above. 

To get started, you will need to:

  • Login (or create a login) with your CFA Institute credentials. 
    • If you already have a CFA Institute log-in, we encourage you to use it. If not, you can create a new account. 
  • Agree to the Terms and Conditions of the community platform.
  • Create your community and volunteer profiles. 
  • Apply to the volunteer opportunities that interest you.   

The deadline to apply for a volunteer position is 15 May 2023 by 17:00 US EDT. If you have any questions, please email [email protected] . If you have questions about the community platform, please email [email protected].
