The normally in-person educational programs are extremely popular with members, ranging from topics such as fintech, esg and global macroeconomic trends. Since the beginning of the pandemic, the society shifted its programming to virtual, and as a result even more members became engaged.

Cfa boston members value live events so the society has held and continues to hold small events in safe (typically outdoor) environments.

Each line starts at 100 in 2018, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2018, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended.
