Financial Management
Association International
Southern
The Financial Management Association
International (FMA) was established in 1970. Its purpose is to
develop relationships between finance practitioners and academicians, to
facilitate the transfer of ideas, techniques, and advances in the field of
finance among universities, businesses and all other institutions.
Membership in the FMA offers students
opportunities that could not be gained from classroom instruction:
"The opportunity to present
yourself as a professional!"
The SIU-C chapter of the FMA was established
in 1987. The FMA meets every other week to plan and participate in
activities that enhance the teachings of the classroom, such activities include
guest speakers from varying fields related to finance who speak with regards to
their respective areas of expertise, the organization of corporate outing: to
banks, brokerage houses and other related organizations.
As members of the SIU-C chapter of the FMA,
students have the opportunity to share the knowledge of a collective pool
consisting of both current and former students. By interacting with fellow
members of the FMA, members will also gain a better insight into finance
courses that other members are currently attending or may have attended in the
past.
