We wish to remind you that as a CFA Program candidate who registered
prior to the 2005 exam cycle, you are currently subject to the guidelines
in place when you became a candidate. We encourage you to apply to
become a Regular member soon. Regular membership is required for the
eventual award of the CFA charter.

To ensure qualification under the work experience requirements (36
months) in place at the time of your initial candidacy, you must apply to
be accepted as a Regular member by 1 July 2007. After this deadline,
you will be subject to the new requirements (48 months and a larger
percentage of time in an investment decision-making position) put in place
in 2003 for incoming candidates. For more information, please visit the
CFA Institute website at

time. To complete your membership application online now through the
