On Dec 3rd, from 7 pm to 10 pm, South Florida chapter has their annual party which is open to members and non-members. I would like to know more about the CFAs in my area and networking opportunities before enrolling for CFA L1 exam that takes place in June 2009. The problem is that the party is going to be in Boca Raton, which is about a 4 hours drive from where I live. From your experience, as a non-member, does it make sense to participate?
If they have an open bar it makes sense to participate.

Few Level 1ers will be there. I’ve been to several CFA Society functions in my city as a nonmember. Most of the members are only too happy to get to know you and help you along.
no open bar? what kind of gig is this? man, what are those dues going toward, anyway?
