About LOMA
Societies
LOMA Societies provide Society members, LOMA students,
and other financial services professionals with opportunities for continuing education
and professional development.
As a financial services
professional, you want a career that is both challenging and rewarding.
LOMA Societies provide a great way to achieve that goal.
Today’s LOMA Societies have
evolved out of the 40+ FLMI Societies that have been formed since 1943.
Although most Societies have long-granted associate membership to all LOMA
designees (not just FLMIs), these associate members did not enjoy all the
rights of membership, such as voting and holding office. In 2003 the
Society Committee decided to extend full membership rights to beyond only
FLMI and FFSI designation holders and to change the Societies’ names to reflect the broader participation.
Societies were formed with the
following objectives in mind:
-
Promoting continuing professional
education
-
Fostering recognition of
LOMA designations
-
Assisting others to earn
LOMA designations
-
Encouraging professional, educational,
and social relations among LOMA designees, students, and other financial
services professionals
