Honorary Officers and the Chief Executive Officer of the IFoA

IFoA President

Under the IFoA’s governing documents (specifically Bye-laws 1 and 2, and Regulations 2-8), Council decides who serves as the Honorary Officers of the IFoA. Our existing Honorary Officers are the President, Immediate Past President and President-elect (collectively the Presidential Team). The President acts as Chair of Council. With effect from the AGM in 2025, the role of Immediate Past President will be abolished.

The President of the IFoA is a volunteer role held by a Fellow or Associate of the IFoA. The commitment for this role is currently three years (one year as President-elect, one year as President and one year as Immediate Past President). With effect from the AGM in 2025, the term of office of the President shall be two years, meaning that the total Presidential term will remain three years (albeit this will consist of one year as President-elect and two years as President).
