2026 CFA Society Poland Elections: Call for Applications

The Electoral General Meeting of CFA Society Poland will be held on June 9, 2026. In connection with this event, the association officially begins the process of accepting applications for members of the Board and the Audit Committee. The final deadline for submitting documents is May 20, 2026.

Participation in the association's authorities is a unique opportunity to actively shape the future of the financial market in Poland and to develop a community of investment professionals.

Who can apply for a position in the association's bodies?

According to the applicable Articles of Association, only regular members and affiliate members of CFA Society Poland who possess active and passive voting rights may run for the Board or the Audit Committee.

Why get involved in the structures of CFA Society Poland?

Membership in the authorities is not only a matter of prestige but, above all, a real influence on the development of an organization that currently brings together nearly 800 CFA charterholders and supports over 1,000 candidates annually. The main benefits of holding these positions include:

• The possibility of implementing original ideas translating into greater recognition of the CFA designation in the local market
• Participation in diverse, interdisciplinary projects implemented within well-coordinated teams
• A unique opportunity to build a personal brand and increase exposure in the financial industry
• Taking real responsibility for key issues related to the ongoing and strategic activities of the CFA Society

Expectations for candidates for office

The Association's authorities rely on the commitment of its members. Candidates for the Board and the Audit Committee are primarily expected to demonstrate:

• Readiness for active involvement, as we are looking for individuals who wish to realy co-create projects and initiatives rather than merely hold a statutory position.
• Time availability, as working on the Board requires participation in monthly meetings (stationary or online) and ongoing contact with the office. In turn, duties in the Audit Committee involve being available several times a year.
• Substantive support, as the experience and knowledge of candidates are crucial in developing the training and conference offer, and implementing new initiatives.
• A pro bono attitude, as functions in the association's bodies are honorary, and the primary reward is the satisfaction of developing the local financial environment and unique networking.
• Initiative and creativity, as the organization values openness to proposing unconventional solutions that raise the prestige of the CFA designation in Poland.

Application procedure step-by-step

Complete applications are accepted until the final deadline of May 20, 2026 (until 11.59 pm CEST). Applications will not be considered after this date.

• Application Form: Completed and signed by hand (for paper form) or with a qualified electronic signature (e.g., Szafir or mObywatel) for e-mail submissions.

Important information regarding the Regulations and Articles of Association

The Association has provided the unified election regulations along with the necessary documents via e-mail. At the same time, the organization informs that the amendments to the Articles of Association adopted by the resolution of the General Meeting on March 3, 2026, are currently in the process of registration in the National Court Register (KRS). Until they are entered, the Articles of Association adopted on June 26, 2025 (included in the current regulations), remain in force.

However, if the court registers the new Articles of Association before the date of the Electoral General Meeting (June 9), the upcoming elections will be conducted in accordance with its new content. Members will be informed of any change in a separate communication.

In case of questions or doubts regarding the election procedure, the CFA Society Poland office remains at the members' disposal at office@cfa.com.pl and at the telephone number +48 798 068 139.
