ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT / PAGE 1 CFA SOCIETY CHICAGO 2019 / 2020 LETTER FROM THE CHAIR Dear CFA Society Chicago Members: It has been an honor to serve as your Chair over the past year and thank you for all of your dedication and support. Specifically, I would like to thank the Board of Directors, our 342 member volunteers, and the Society staff for all of their time and effort; you are what makes CFA Society Chicago so great! Building on Success Never in my wildest dreams would I have expected my term to turn out like this. Despite several challenges we encountered over the year, we were able to build on our success and make progress on all of our strategic initiatives. We started the year with record breaking attendance and sponsorship at our Annual Dinner. We put on numerous other fantastic live events of the highest quality. Overall, the Society held 80 plus events for our nearly 5,000 members. Events of Note Include: Our Annual Dinner where we celebrated 136 new charterholders and received financial support from 67 sponsors, had a sellout crowd of more than 1,000 attendees. Education Advisory Group held events on topics including Investing in the Space Race, Cannabis, Hedge Funds, LIBOR/SOFR, Modern Monetary Theory, and ETFs. Professional Development Advisory Group hosted events including Industry Roundtables, Non- Traditional Careers, and Job Search Strategies. CFA Women’s Network held events with keynote speakers including Sallie Krawcheck (Ellevest), Loretta Mester (President of the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland), and Gina Martin Adams, CFA (Bloomberg). Distinguished Speaker Series events including David Herro, CFA (Harris Associates), Roy Swan (Ford Foundation), Nancy Lazar (Cornerstone Macro), Rocky Wirtz (Chicago Blackhawks), Alec Litowitz (Magnetar Capital), and Cathie Wood (ARK Invest). Membership Engagement hosted the Local Research Challenge Competition with ULTA Beauty as the Featured Company with 9 teams competing. The Pandemic – Pivot to Virtual At our Annual Dinner, we promised to deliver more digital content for our membership with a goal to provide opportunities to our members that are unable to attend live events. When the pandemic abruptly put a halt to live events after our last in-person event on March 11, 2020, featuring Rocky Wirtz, the owner of the Chicago Blackhawks, the Society staff and volunteers were able to responded swiftly, and adapt to the new reality due to our past efforts to upgrade our technology platform. Since that time, the Society has accelerated the creation of digital content in a time when we cannot hold live events. We have added video conference capabilities, incorporated podcasts covering a wide range of topics, and held our first remote- world webinar entitled Modern Monetary Theory: Historic Monetary and Fiscal Stimulus: Savior or Destroyer? on April 22nd. ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT / PAGE 2 CFA SOCIETY CHICAGO 2019 / 2020 LETTER FROM THE CHAIR New Chief Executive Officer – Christopher T. Vincent, CFA The year did not go without other non-pandemic challenges. The Society operated without a CEO for most of the year, which placed additional burden on the Society's staff and members of the board. The Board and its Search Committee did an exhaustive search that started in early December 2019, screening and interviewing numerous qualified candidates. They narrowed the field over a four-month period to a final candidate, Chris Vincent, who was approved during the last virtual board meeting held in late March 2020. We are excited to have Chris Vincent as our new CEO. Chris is a CFA charterholder and brings significant experience in the investment management industry to the Society. The combination of his knowledge, networking abilities, and leadership skills will allow him to successfully lead the Society into the future. Welcome Chris! New Strategic Plan The Board also launched an initiative to update the Society’s three-year strategic plan to better align the Society’s efforts with our three strategic pillars: Deliver Member Value Develop Future Professionals Build Market Integrity To deliver on these strategic objectives the plan includes aligning our programming to meet the needs of our diverse member base. The three-year strategic plan was completed and approved by the Board and will be reviewed and updated at the first board meeting of each fiscal year. The strategic plan is available on the website at www.cfachicago.org. The Board’s Executive Committee also instituted new quarterly meetings with all Advisory Group co-chairs and the Executive Committee to provide a forum to identify, coordinate and organize our content in a more systematic way, as well as better align it with our member base, and the CFA Institute’s Professional Learning framework currently under development. Volunteer – It’s Rewarding The Society needs and wants our members to get involved. There are many ways to do so. Volunteer for an Advisory Group, be a subject matter expert and share your knowledge with our members at an event, find someone to be a subject matter expert to participate in a Society webinar, or contact the staff and share your programming ideas. There are many ways of getting involved. The opportunity of working with so many talented individuals is certainly rewarding. Sincerely, Daniel R.

    2011 ANNUAL REPORT THE FIELD MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY INTRODUCTORY LETTER New Year’s Day set the pace for The Field Museum. That morning, we began 2011 on the side of an Antarctic mountain excavating dinosaurs. We carried this pioneering spirit throughout the year, as we explored the Earth, inspired young minds, and engaged our visitors in the thrill of scientific discovery. 2011 also brought to a close a series of major projects. First, we launched an all-new website in March following three years of development. We designed the new www.FieldMuseum.org in response to our visitors’ suggestions and loaded it with features that allow us to share our resources as never before. The new website is quickly evolving and we hope that you will check it In just 12 months we: frequently to learn about the latest happenings at the Field. u Undertook more than 60 expeditions, uncovering 200 new plants and animals Second, we opened two new permanent exhibitions focused on u one of the most pressing issues of our time – conservation of the Conserved over 1.1 million acres of rainforest in the Amazon’s headwaters Earth’s resources.

  • Annual Report 2017
    Annual ‘17 Report A Foundation of Inspiration Lincoln Park Zoo inspires communities to create environments where wildlife will thrive in our urbaniz- ing world. The zoo’s new vision was unfurled along with a new logo, tagline, and look and feel this past March. That transformative moment provided a fitting finale to a year lined with milestones. From new exhibits for polar bears and African penguins to the national expansion of our Urban Wildlife Information Net- work, we worked together to exemplify our vision and tagline: For Wildlife. For All. The openings of Walter Family Arctic Tundra, Robert and Mayari Pritzker Penguin Cove (above) and our new Learning Center showcase that commitment in no uncertain terms. Key components of our $125 million capital campaign, The Pride of Chicago, they boldly announce the zoo’s multifaceted approach to providing excellent animal care, using science to understand each animal’s welfare; science-based learn- ing and community engagement; and inspiring people to care for wildlife we protect and save. Opening one of these in a given year would be impressive. Debuting all three is astonishing. The generous support of donors, members and visitors for this privately managed institution clearly goes beyond keeping the zoo open and free to all 365 days a year. Together, we are speaking up for species, from a gray squirrel in a UWIN camera-trap photo to an Arctic predator imperiled by climate change. To ensure that commitment doesn’t remain only within the zoo’s borders, it’s critical to seed and culti- vate opportunities for early education, community engagement, and professional scientific partnerships.

  • 10Th Anniversary Bi-Annual Report Fiscal Years 2010 – 2011
    10th Anniversary Bi-Annual Report Fiscal Years 2010 – 2011 At the the Chicago Children’s Advocacy Center, we are proud of our accomplishments. Our success is due entirely to our dedicated staff, partners and generous supporters. Dear Friends, As our 10th Anniversary draws to a close, we reflect with great pride on the impact the Chicago Children’s Advocacy Center has had on the lives of over 22,000 children who were victims of sexual or life-threatening physical abuse. These past two years are representative of our resolute determination to make Chicago a safer community tomorrow than it is today for its children. Our many accomplishments over the past two years are attributed to our focus on quality and our ability to identify problems, seek strong financial and programmatic partners, and implement solutions together with our partners. We are forever thankful to you and to all of our generous stakeholders, who have given us the resources necessary to remain focused on our mission. Now, more than ever, the CCAC remains focused on giving the children who come through our doors a voice, and on being the voice for the children in Chicago who continue to suffer in silence. Even though we have helped a staggering number of children, there are thousands more who are victims whose voices we have not heard. Research estimates that 60% of incidents of sexual abuse alone go unreported, and, for children with disabilities, this number is even higher. This terrible reality drives us every day to respond in innovative ways. You will see highlights in this report of the various initiatives in which we have engaged during the past two years to increase public awareness of the prevalence of child abuse and the need to report it; to educate the professional community in effective responses to abuse; to decrease mental health waiting lists and increase access to services for children; and to expand the impact of our services to physically injured children and to children with disabilities.
