Your opportunity to shape IFoA membership

Open-access content Wednesday 1st December 2021

The 2021 member survey closes on 12 December. This is your chance to tell us what matters to you, so please do take the time to respond.

Your opportunity to shape IFoA membership

Since carrying out the first full member survey in 2018, we’ve listened to your feedback and made many changes to enhance your IFoA membership, from freezing membership fees and making online events free to access, to redesigning CPD so that it focuses on your professional needs. Now we are looking to hear your thoughts on how we can help you, as actuaries, to meet the challenges this new world presents.

IFoA president Louise Pryor said: “The membership survey is an important learning exercise for the IFoA and it’s very important to me that the results represent the whole diverse membership.

“Much of the change currently underway in the IFoA, from the Learning Change Programme to reviews of our regulatory practices, is based on insights from previous surveys.

“Your participation helps the IFoA to deliver better support for you in your career, so please don’t miss your chance to shape what the IFoA does for you.”

Invitations with a personalised link have already been circulated. If you haven’t received your link, please email [email protected]

New world, new thinking: CERA seminar online

In February this year we launched our first online Chartered Enterprise Risk Actuary (CERA) seminar. After years of holding successful and popular seminars in a face-to-face setting (predominantly in the UK), the COVID-19 pandemic compelled us to revisit the format of these events in order to continue meeting members’ needs.
