ANDRIY BESPYATOV, PH.D, CFA Current Society Role: Past Immediate President, Treasurer, Executive Board Member Statement of intent/motivation: I am applying for a position of Board Member of CFA Society Ukraine. I think that my vast experience in managing pretty much every aspect of the Society as well as few other roles within the CFA Institute’s community may be useful for the Society in the future. I can help with the development of any Committee/function. Therefore, it could be a formal position in the Nomination Committee, maybe a Treasurer and also an advisory role for multiple Committees. As for particular Committees, based on my previous experience, I might help the best with such Committees (the descending order), as Education & University Liaison, Advocacy,

Industry Relationship & Sponsorship, others.

OLGA BURENKO, CFA Statement of intent/motivation: I believe in the mission of CFA Institute and CFA Society Ukraine and want to contribute to the advancement of the investment profession in Ukraine. Especially I would like to bring my time, energy and experience in building on behalf of the Society strong relationships with industry leaders and experts and in developing a sustainable sponsorship programs within Industry Relationship and Sponsorship Committee. I understand that due to a growing number of associations and professional membership organizations, today’s sponsorship sales environment became very competitive. However, I believe that conferences and other events, which focus on hot topics and provide unique content from high­profile industry experts, can still attract the industry’s biggest sponsors and generate sponsorship revenue for the Society. In turn, good events and sponsorship support will increase membership value and promote awareness of the CFA brand.

If elected, I will work on the following initiatives: Develop and offer two levels (annual and event) of sponsorship packages with distinct benefits to

sponsors (i.e. clear marketing and event opportunities). Annual sponsorship will allow the Society to have more precise annual budget for conferences and events for the entire year.

Prepare timeline of events at the end of year (in early November, before Ukrainian Investment Forum) to attract new annual sponsors for the next year at the main event of the Society and define budget for the next year.

Consider the possible benefits of cooperation with ACCA Ukraine and other associations; consider organizing some educational trainings together for charterholders. E.g. ACCA has more than 500 members and thousands students in Ukraine. Some cooperation can possibly attract new members to the CFA Society Ukraine.

Consider organizing some sport events (yachts, volleyball, table tennis, golf in summer, bowling etc.) to popularize healthy lifestyle among members, candidates and the Ukrainian society.

Consider organizing interviews/breakfasts/dinners with CFA charterholders, some articles/ success stories about charterholders in Ukraine to boost traffic to the Society’s web­site that in turn will increase value for the members and sponsors.

Give more attention to the activities on Facebook, LinkedIn and in media to increase awareness of the CFA brand for the benefits of the society’s members and potential sponsors.

Consider adding events that focus on career building in finance (e.g. CFA Career Day). I am ready to bring my expertise and knowledge of the Ukrainian investment market to make CFA Society Ukraine the key influential financial association in our country.

Now after finalizing my CFA charter in 2015 and returning from my job assignment from Kazakhstan I feel I have required resources and passion to reintegrate myself to Society activities. I believe that my previous positive history with the Society, professional experience, personal qualities, non­engagement in other organizations and absence of any conflicts of interests will provide me a sound background to devote myself to developing CFA Ukraine Society. I would be interested to chair the Branding and PR Committee and here are several among of my ideas:

Intensify Facebook and LinkedIn as PR channels. I want to transfer the current form of one­way communication (where only Society provides info content) into a new two­way communication – make them a platform to be used by members and the Society to engage into online discussions on professional, ethical and other topics. Improve content by adding online polls, articles, recommendations, etc.

Enhance the brand of CFA Ukraine by marketing and popularizing interesting professional and social events (including events endorsing healthy lifestyle and charity) organized by the Society.

Establish cooperation with financial journals, publish partner columns of CFA charterholders. Establish series of interviews/articles with recognized CFA charterholders, their success stories and how CFA

charter helped them in their business path; special stories about negative situations in real business world and practical analysis of how CFA Code and Standards could have been used to avoid such negative situations.

OLEKSIY SOBOLEV, CFA

Current Society Role: Non­Executive Board Member

Statement of intent/motivation: The only thing that is constant today in Ukraine is change. I am sure that this situation is going to continue the next several years. The country is gradually transitioning into a new more open system The lack of social capital makes this transition extremely difficult. This is where I see the CFA Society could add value. Our high ethical standards, integrity and professionalism could fuel reforms helping to build a true market economy increasing the demand for our member services. In order to do that we need to work more closely with the government promoting

our professional standards and ethic codes, build a stronger network of more engaged and active members and increase brand awareness of the CFA charter. I would suggest engaging in two kinds of activities: 1. Providing services of independent supervisory board members to the state owned enterprises and tracking the reform progress. 2. Working with the state security commission to incorporate CFA professional and ethical standards into the local securities professional requirements. I've been volunteering for the ministry of infrastructure over a year and have a vast network of reform minded people working for or advising to the government. Working with both the new and the old bureaucrats I very well understand their motivations and procedures. I have a successful track record of buy ins for reform projects on different levels of our government system, be it the director of a state owned enterprise or a minister. That is why I think I'm the best candidate to head the Advocacy Committee. Reforms communication also took a significant part of my efforts during the last 13 months, sot the second preference would be to head Branding and PR. Short Bio: Oleksii Sobolev, CFA is an adviser to the minister of infrastructure of Ukraine since February 2015.

Based on my experience, that I gained over two years, I am convinced that I will be able to fit well into the position of the Membership Committee Director. CFA members are the main asset of the CFA Society, thus maintaining the interest and support of the CFA members in the local society after they have successfully

received their charters is the key issue for the success of the CFA Ukraine. I myself maintained CFA membership and realised how important it is for my personnel development and career to have a link to the professional community which CFA Ukraine is. I am therefore confident that I can capitalise on the broad network of connections that I have made during my career in the investment field in order to support involvement of the CFA members in the CFA Society Ukraine.
