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.
What is FMA?
FMA is a nationally recognized organization with chapters
all over the world. Our chapter here at Mizzou focuses 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.
What does the FMA do?
FMA has 6 required meetings per semester in which guest
speakers are brought in to discuss their personal experiences and share
insightful information about transitioning into the business community.
FMA has an investment competition every semester with a
prize of $50 for the winner. There has been a recent effort to take this
competition to another level and start competing with other schools in the Big
12 Conference.
FMA has one social event per semester, which gives new
members a chance to meet upper classman and get advice about classes or career
paths. It also provides a good way to get to know other members in the group and
have a chance for leadership opportunities.
FMA has recently taken one trip per semester. Last year we
made a trip to Kansas City to visit the Kansas City Board of Trade and Boulevard
Brewing Co. And since the KCBOT wasn’t big enough for us, second semester we
made a trip to the Chicago Board of Trade. While in Chicago, we also visited a
global consulting firm - LECG, saw a Chicago Bulls game, and visited the Shedd
Aquarium.
What are the benefits of membership?
Networking Opportunities
Networking opportunities exist with students, faculty,
alumni, and business professionals.
Leadership Opportunities
There are 10 officer slots that allow students to take an

Professional Development Trips

enrich the education of our members. Previous trips have included a great
balance of business meetings and social events.
