People and Culture Committee

The purpose of the People and Culture Committee (the “Committee”) is to carry out the responsibilities delegated by the Board of Governors (the “Board”) of CFA® Institute relating to the following items which are focused on building organizational capability and ensuring the organization is viewed as an Employer of Choice in the markets in which we operate:

• Review output of the annual Talent Review producing a robust succession plan and high potential slate ensuring the organization has top talent in critical roles and internal talent pipelines are being developed with a focus on enhancing organizational capability.
• Provide oversight of compensation policies, programs and related plans, with an emphasis on those pertaining to the executive officers of CFA Institute.
• Review annual goals, performance against those goals and recommend compensation of the President and Chief Executive Officer (the “CEO”).
• Review compensation recommendations for all key executives named in the 990 filing.
• Review annual development plans of executive officers and discuss retention issues for this group and other critical talent in the organization. 
• Discuss key activities focused on evolving employee engagement and organizational culture.
• Discuss any People-related issues (labor practices, EEO activity, executive separation events, etc) that may create risk for the organization.  Depending on the level of risk associated, these issues may also be reviewed by the Risk Committee.

These matters, and all other matters discussed by the Committee will be executed in accordance with and subject to the Bylaws of CFA Institute, as such Bylaws may be amended from time to time (the “Bylaws”). For purposes of this Charter, the term "executive officers" refers to the officers and managing directors in the positions for which compensation disclosure is included in the annual proxy statement to members.
