IFoA Council members are responsible for setting the long-term vision for the IFoA and the actuarial profession. They help to represent and develop both the organisation and the profession by gathering opinions from peers and practice areas and making strategic recommendations to the IFoA Board.
Membership of the Council is an important role, with stewardship responsibilities that require strong governance, leadership, and accountability skills.
We rely on members all over the world to step up and fill that role. It's how we ensure that we are building a future for our organisation that accurately reflects what members want and need, as well as the demands and evolution of the actuarial profession.
This year’s Council election is your chance to play a truly leading role in the development of the actuarial profession. This year there are 6 vacancies in the General Constituency and 1 in the Scottish Constituency.
