NEWSLETTER
August 2019
The Forecast Dinner is time to do some
crystal ball gazing - and some reflection
too.
Join the light-hearted competition at the
21 October event and you could have the
honour of being 'Forecaster of the year' in
2020.
Jeff Stangl, CFA Society New Zealand Chair, gives an update on board
activities and the survey results
Dear members
There’s lots happening with the society. Three things we're focused on are:
• 21 October; the forecast dinner and masterclasses – please come along
• The new CPD offering on LinkedIn Learning – please sign-up; it’s free and very
worthwhile
• Starting a new comprehensive exam preparation programme – we’re working hard
to get this going and it will be a great benefit to candidates
Some updates from the board include:
• The board has adopted two new documents: [a board] Code of Conduct and an
Elections policy, including Nominations Committee. We will be appointing two new
board members at the AGM on 20 November.
• We’re investigating more activities and support for members outside Auckland. There
is a focus group in Wellington 14 October to get specific input from members.
• We want to work more proactively with members seeking to volunteer for the
society. This could take many forms, eg, a role on a committee or talking to local
candidates. Keep an eye out for information and please get involved if you’re
interested.
Survey results
We really appreciate the time members gave to complete the recent survey. Improved
understanding enables us to make society membership more valuable for members.
Over 70 members responded to the survey. Noah Schiltnecht, Makao Investments, Auckland
and Mike Gibbs-Harris, MGH Asset Management, Wellington, won tickets to attend the
Forecast Dinner and Masterclasses.
