Committee for Lifelong Learning in Risk Management – Deputy Chair

Application closing date: 31 August 2025

The IFoA’s lifelong learning committees play a vital and proactive role in shaping the content delivered through our online webinar programme and in-person (hybrid) one-day events. These events bring current, thought-provoking topics to life for our diverse member base. They support actuaries in staying relevant, informed, and connected in a hybrid working world.

We are currently seeking a Deputy Chair to join the Committee for Lifelong Learning in Risk Management.

This is your chance to:

• influence the content of CPD and learning in a fast-evolving practice area
• collaborate with like-minded professionals across the IFoA’s community
• gain leadership experience and expand your professional network

We are looking for a:

• strategic thinker with fresh ideas on how we can keep our events forward-looking, engaging, and inclusive
• collaborative mindset, willing to help shape an exciting and relevant programme of events
• visible advocate: someone willing to support event promotion through personal or professional networks, social media, or IFoA Communities, and in chairing roles
• genuine interest in the evolving actuarial landscape, including emerging risk areas and new domains

You will work closely with the chair and IFoA Executive teams (events, marketing, communities). This role is also a great opportunity to prepare to step into the chair role in the future as part of our succession planning.

Time commitment

The time commitment on average is a total of one to two days per month, though maybe more or less during different times of the year depending on the scheduling of the portfolio of events.
