What is FMA?
The Financial Management Association International was established in 1970 to
develop a continuing relationship between finance practitioners and academicians
to facilitate the transfer of ideas and techniques and advances in the field of
finance between universities, businesses and other institutions.
Our Mission:
The Financial Management Association of the University of Missouri's mission is
to assist finance students in making the transition from students to
professionals. FMA acts as a direct liaison between students and business
communities. Professional speaking events and company tours give our members the
opportunities to make employee contacts and to develop leadership.
Objectives:
The objectives of the organization are to ensure that its members:
- Obtain valuable career information;
- Develop professional insights and attitudes;
- Gain experience in problem solving and decision making;
- Increase professional and faculty contacts;
- Improve social and interpersonal skills;
- Demonstrate competence in skill areas beyond those needed to obtain a
college degree.
These objectives are met by encouraging social interaction between students,
faculty, and businesses. Professional speakers, fundraising, and community
service are just a few activities available to members of FMA.
