Hosted in partnership with National Bank Independent Network
CFA Day honors CFA Society Vancouver charterholders, Society Past Presidents, and investment firms who recognize the importance of hiring CFA charterholders. Attendees will celebrate the achievements of one CFA charterholder with the inaugural Michael Ryan Award of Excellence, hear from a charismatic keynote speaker, and continue conversations during a post-presentation cocktail reception.
The Michael Ryan Award of Excellence
The Michael Ryan Award of Excellence recognizes a CFA charterholder's exemplary contribution to the financial industry through their professional achievements, leadership, community involvement and endorsement of the CFA charter and the standard of excellence it represents. Mr. Ryan was CFA Society Vancouver's founding member and second President from 1966 to 1968.
