Current volunteering opportunities
Private Markets Research
As part of a review of CFA Institute's private market offering, we are engaging practitioners from across the global private markets ecosystem to help validate and strengthen our emerging value propositions. We are seeking volunteers, both CFA charterholders and non-charterholders, who currently work in private markets and are willing to participate in a one-time consultation.
CFA Program Level 3 Standard Setting
The goal of standard setting is to recommend to the Board a minimum passing score (MPS) that appropriately distinguishes between those candidates that demonstrated mastery of the curriculum from those that did not. The standard setters’ recommendation is one of the key factors that the Board of Governors considers when setting the minimum passing score (MPS) for the CFA exams.
CFA® Program Feedback
We're seeking recent CFA candidates to provide feedback on potential new learning and study tool experiences for the CFA Program. Feedback will be collected via an online experience that takes less than 30 minutes.
