Jonathan:
Thank you for your interest in becoming a member of the Houston Society of Financial Analysts. The AIMR web site is your best resource for information and forms regarding AIMR and HSFA membership. The HSFA has two categories of membership: Regular and Affiliate. In short, requirements for Regular membership are a college degree, the successful completion of Level 1 and three years of acceptable professional work experience. Requirements for Affiliate membership are a college degree and one year of acceptable work experience. "Acceptable work experience" is defined as a professional position in finance or accounting. The HSFA holds weekly lunch meetings from September to May. The meetings are at noon on Wednesdays at the Houston Club downtown, 811 Rusk. In addition, there are usually three or four annual events in the evenings. After you become a member, you will be alerted by mail and e-mail about every meeting and event. For more HSFA information, check out https://www.aimr.org/socservices/socpage.asp?society=HOUSTON . To join the Houston Society, you also have to be a member of the national AIMR organization. For AIMR membership, go to https://www.aimr.org/memservices/join/apply.asp and fill out the Membership Application Form. The HSFA currently requires you to have three sponsors: your supervisor and two HSFA members, one of whom must be outside your firm. (If your supervisor is an HSFA member, then only two sponsors are required.) If you do not know any HSFA members, there are people who have volunteered to serve as sponsors. Attached is a list; just give one of them a call. The form that your sponsors will need is attached. They may send them in directly to AIMR or to you. At AIMR, your application package is bundled together and sent to me for approval. I send it back to AIMR, and they will alert you of your membership status (and invoice you for dues) by mail. The whole process can take five weeks or more, because AIMR only processes applications once a month. Please call me if you have any more questions. Donna F.
