CFA Society New Zealand is led by a team of committed volunteer directors who plan and implement the strategic vision for the society. Each director oversees a portfolio. Two part-time staff support the directors and the society.
The Board meet monthly to carry out governance, provide updates on their portfolios, and to plan and review initiatives such as events.
