Committed to the last: Dr Jean-Claude Dufournet
To all the members of national societies and all the CIIA charter holders:
lt is with great sadness and sense of loss to inform you of the passing of Dr. Jean-Claude Dufournet. He was scheduled to attend the ACIIA Council Meeting and Annual General Meeting in Frankfurt on June 29. We still cannot believe that he will not be there. As the obituary by the Swiss Society said, Jean-Claude was "committed to the last."
As all of you know, Jean-Claude co-founded the Association of Certified lnternational lnvestment Analysts (ACIIA) in 2001, and for the past sixteen years he had played a critical role in the development of the CIIA designation. On behalf of all the member national societies and the CIIA charter holders all over the world both in the past and the present, we would like to express our deepest appreciation for his dedication to the CIIA and ACIIA. He had been working relentlessly to improve the CIIA designation and ACIIA operations. lt is not an exaggeration at all to say that we could have never come this far without him.
Under the forceful support of Association of Certified International Investment Analysts (ACIIA) and Securities Association of China(SAC), led and organized by the family of CIIA in China, the 1st CIIA Annual Convention in China and the Forum of the Financial Development and Trend took place grandly on April 15, 2017 in Jianguo Hotel in Shanghai, to celebrate the 11th anniversary for CIIA’s being introduced into China.
Upon kindly invitation of DVFA Germany the ACIIA Council Meeting and the Annual General Meeting will be held in Frankfurt on Jun 29th 2017
In December 2016, a new ACIIA Council Members was elected, Ms. Ruth Kung representing The Asian Securities and Investment Federation (ASIF).
