NYSSA Seeks Volunteers to Help with Educational Outreach
NYSSA is currently seeking member volunteers to help us with our educational outreach. As you know, NYSSA has a long focused on ensuring that emerging finance professionals are prepared for the challenges they face each workday.
We have two opportunities for members to help those in college build the skills and knowledge they can’t get from a standard class environment.
The Investment Research Challenge has expanded this year and will include five new schools. Members are needed to fill roles as Professional Mentors and Research Report Graders. These volunteers play a key role in the challenge by helping students through the report writing process and then giving professional feedback on those reports.
For more information on how you can volunteer for this year’s IRC, please contact Brian Stype at bstype@nyssa.org.
