General Insurance Research and Thought Leadership Sub-committee – members

Application closing date: 26 January

The General Insurance Research and Thought Leadership Sub-committee is responsible to the General Insurance Board for all matters relating to research and thought leadership, specifically within the general insurance practice area.

The IFoA is seeking to appoint both members and suitably qualified non-members to join this sub-committee for an active research programme.

We are particularly seeking to recruit volunteers who have research experience from all parts of the general insurance industry. Volunteers will have a passion for actively fostering and driving forward all stages of research and thought leadership for their peers working in the general insurance practice area.

Commitment from you

The role requires a time commitment of up to 2 days per month, including following up on actions as required to ensure deadlines and commitments are met. Committee meetings are currently scheduled on a monthly basis and are typically held in London.

However, to allow us to widen this opportunity to all members, participation can also be done through conference calls or video conferences, allowing all members to join regardless of their location.

For those who are able, it is preferred that members attend in person at least once a quarter to allow for the opportunity to connect and socialise.

In addition to the monthly meetings, members are expected to:

  • attend meetings for the working parties that you are responsible for shadowing
  • review the Brian Hay papers prior to the judging deadline
  • participate in meetings organised by the committee for the working party chairs
