I also serve on the educational and examination committee, setting passing scores. Since 2015, I've been a Level 3 examination grader for the CFA Institute, acting as a team captain and ensuring grading consistency. Additionally, I volunteer for the CFA Institute Practice Analysis group, updating exam curriculum.
