The IFoA is seeking to appoint both suitably experienced members and non-members to join the newly formed Inclusion and Access Committee (IAC).

  • Champion involvement from the IFoA membership on matters related to inclusion and access, particularly with regards to the IFoA membership experience and opportunities for the wider actuarial profession, and
  • Support the success of the IFoA’s strategy and Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) strategy, as set by the IFoA Board.

We welcome applications from candidates who have:

  • An understanding of the IFoA, its vision/purpose, and key services/products/programmes
  • An understanding of and interest in inclusion and access matters, with the ability and commitment to seek out and reflect the diversity of membership views that exist on these topics, including varying nuances across the globe, and
