Ivan Belyaev started by presenting the lobbying of investment community interests, increasing awareness of the CFA Institute Code of Ethics, and promoting of GIPS standards in Russia (together with Peter Kadish). Sofia supported Ivan in the development of ethical standards, and she would like to be engaged in educational projects as well.

Natalya Kolupaeva along with Scott Rose will be involved in PR and media companies.

In addition to this, Dmitry Ryabykh presented the "CFA Educational Strategy", which addresses educational activities, such as cooperation and partnerships with universities, events and business meetings with leading experts from various fields, workshops, lectures, student competitions, webinars, and online broadcasts. We are to do some activities every week. Last year we implemented recording each event on video for posting on our website (in the future), which will increase interest and visitor traffic. The presentation can be seen here.

  • Promotion of the prestigious image and professional value of CFA charters among students from different Russian cities.
  • Providing participants with access to international CFA networks and opportunities for cooperation with other certified experts, along with creation of an in-house professional community.
  • Collaboration with universities in raising awareness of CFA programs with the goal of increasing the number of candidates interested in enhancing their professional skills and reputation through the CFA Charter.
  • Working with human resources managers and recruiters using meetings on various themes, career days, and trainings.
