The Research and Policy Center Recognizes Women of Influence

CFA Institute Research and Policy Center celebrates women who engage with us and support our mission. On this page, we are highlighting some of those women who are serving as Editors, Advisory Council Members, Research Foundation Board Trustees, GIPS volunteers, and other leadership roles. We appreciate the leadership of all who are helping to shape the future of the industry and the profession.
