Every year, approximately fifty new CFA Charterholders join the greater Baltimore investment community, and approximately 300 candidates sit for a CFA exam. These individuals, committed to professional excellence and ethics, will one day lead our investment community. The CFA Society Baltimore Mentorship Program has been developed to allow these young professionals to connect with seasoned charterholders who can offer career guidance and be a sounding board as they begin their journey as CFA Charterholders.
