In many ways, it seems much longer than the 10 or so months that have passed since we started writing up the IFoA’s new five-year strategy, which we launched earlier this year.
In 2016, under the leadership of the then immediate past president Nick Salter, the IFoA published a four-year diversity strategy: a thoughtful and informed plan to promote recognition, understanding and respect of our members’, volunteers’ and colleagues’ individual differences.
I have spent the past few weeks reflecting on my first six months at the IFoA, in part prompted by the presidential cycle, and in part as I have now spent more time leading the IFoA from home than I have in the office!
ach June (or thereabouts) there comes a turning point for the IFoA: we hold our Annual General Meeting, announce our newest Council members and see the changeover of our presidents, with the newly installed president making their first official address.
