New IFoA Honorary Fellows installed at AGM

Open-access content Wednesday 29th July 2015 — updated 9.20pm, Thursday 2nd April 2020

The annual general meeting of the IFoA was held at Staple Inn Hall, London, on 29 June. This year, presidents, members, guests and IFoA Executive staff were joined by three of the four recently elected Honorary Fellows: Karel Goossens, Dave Pelletier and Andrew D Smith. Thomas Béhar was sadly unable to attend the presentation and will be presented with his award at a later date. Goossens, Pelletier and Smith were presented with their certificates by the then IFoA president Nick Salter.

He is the former president of the IA|BE and was chairman of the Actuarial Association of Europe (AAE, formerly Groupe Consultatif) from October 2012 to September 2013. He chaired the Insurance Committee of the AAE from May 2007 to October 2012. 
Dave Pelletier
David Pelletier is chair of the Actuarial Standards Committee (ASC) of the IAA. A past president of the Canadian Institute of Actuaries (CIA), he has completed a term as chair of the Canadian Actuarial Standards Board. He is director of the Global Risk Institute. Pelletier retired from RGA Life Reinsurance Company of Canada, where he was chairman, chief executive and executive vice-president, in 2010.
Andrew D Smith
