NFA Founders and Lifetime Members
The Northern Finance Association started with a 1989 conference in Ottawa. It was organized by
- Giovanni Barone-Adesi (University of Alberta and Swiss Finance Institute)
- Vijay Jog (Carleton University)
- Lawrence Kryzanowski (Concordia University)
They continued to coordinate the selection of the site and the local host university for the conference annually, until the NFA was incorporated.
