October Newsletter
Join us for our holiday party at an Idaho Steelheads game
CFA Society of Idaho members and a guest are invited to the Idaho Steelheads hockey game on Wednesday, December 12. We have reserved a suite with 30 seats at the CenturyLink Arena so confirm your attendance early. The event will be catered with food and beverages served in the suite. There is no cost for members and one guest. For those of you that may not be regulars at Steelheads games, access to the suites is through the Grove Hotel. Take the elevator or stairway to the Suite level. You will need to show your tickets shortly after exiting the elevators. Ticket distribution will likely be in the lobby of the Grove as you pass through. Even if you don’t follow hockey, you will have a great time. Cheers!

New CFA Society of Idaho job board
CFA Society of Idaho wants to be a resource for job seekers and for companies that are looking for qualified candidates. We have partnered with CFA Institute to show listings for jobs in Idaho and throughout the Pacific Northwest. We are also offering a coupon code so that local employers in the financial sector can post their jobs for free (a savings of hundreds of dollars) to serve our members and community better. Contact CFASocietyofIdaho@gmail.com for the coupon code. Job-seekers can also post their resumes for recruiters to see. We encourage you to take advantage of this benefit.
