Gastón Vaccaro, CFA, Dead at 32
CFA Society of Argentina & Uruguay announces with deep sorrow the passing of one of its active members, Gaston Vaccaro, CFA, who died on May 15th. We wish to send our condolences his dear family.
Gaston worked actively to promote both the CFA Institute in Argentina and the values that it promotes. His commitment to our local society and to our industry was an example of the highest professional and ethical standards, which accurately reflect the values of this excellent young man. We have lost a great society leader and a great friend.
We have our OWN offices!

Having our own space will give us the opportunity to significantly improve and better serve our members and candidates as well as managing daily tasks more efficiently.
The Society thanks UCEMA for this important commitment with CFA Society of Argentina & Uruguay, CFA charterholders and more important with all the Argentine financial community!
