A new year brings new challenges – this could be your chance to branch out and try something new.


A new year brings new challenges - this could be your chance to branch out and try something new. Volunteering means different things to different people. Some see it as an opportunity to develop personal and professional skills, while others value the opportunity to give back to their profession. 

If you're interested in getting involved, take a look at the current vacancies on our volunteer vacancies web page at   bit.ly/1mKL1JE 

These include:

  • Chair of the Education Committee and deputy chair of the Board of Examiners. These two senior roles will require experienced, proactive and forward-thinking individuals, who are passionate about education. The holders will be required to build upon the high quality of our education processes and help shape the future of education strategy.
  • Research peer review pool. This is a new opportunity to support the quality assurance of the IFoA's research output.
  • Become a CPD co-ordinator for your organisation. Organisations that employ at least three qualified actuaries are encouraged to appoint a CPD co-ordinator. This is an IFoA recommendation.
