CISI Yorkshire has continued to support its members by
offering a variety of events over the last year covering diverse subject
matters such as Smart Beta, Ethical Investing, VSTs, Cyber Security and SMCR.
We are also delighted to support CISI’s new Young
Professionals Network "YPN" , and invited Claire Young to our launch event on 7th
March where she inspired our members by talking about how she has made a
successful career for herself in the media and as a public speaker following on
from her being a runner up in BBC’s ‘The Apprentice’. We intend to run at least a couple of
specific YPN events throughout the year with the aim of providing a platform
for our younger members to network and develop their careers.
CISI have continued to enhance their online offering with a
vast repository of learning materials.
To make the most of membership benefits, I encourage members to utilise
the Professional Refresher, CISI TV and Online Magazine resources. Slides from our local CPD events can also be
found on My CISI.
Total membership in our region now stands at 1180 (including
student members) which is an increase of 80 members compared to last year.
We are always looking for ideas for future CPD events, so
please get in touch if there is a particular topic you would like to see
covered.
I would like to thank my fellow committee members for their
ongoing commitment they make so that we can continue to provide a varied events
programme for the region.
