Key information for IFoA chairs

Open-access content Friday 26th February 2016 — updated 5.50pm, Wednesday 29th April 2020

A new resource has been created to assist the IFoA’s volunteer chairs. The ‘Key Information for Chairs’ resource is available on our website, and in hard copy, and has been created as an aide memoire to help our chairs to keep to the principles set out in the Governance Manual and the Volunteer Induction Pack (VIP).

A new resource has been created to assist the IFoA's volunteer chairs. The 'Key Information for Chairs' resource is available on our website, and in hard copy, and has been created as an aide memoire to help our chairs to keep to the principles set out in the Governance Manual and the Volunteer Induction Pack (VIP). 

The IFoA's current Governance Manual was approved by Council on 9 October 2014, and came into force on 1 July 2015. 

All volunteers comply with the terms of the IFoA's Governance Manual and VIP. 

You can view the 'Key Information for Chairs' resource online in the VIP at chapter 8 on p31: bit.ly/1PkaGUX. Alternatively, email [email protected] for a hard copy. 

The IFoA currently supports over 80 working parties, and a second new resource has also been created to specifically assist these volunteer chairs. 

View the 'Key Information for Working Party Chairs' resource, created with the help of Patrick Kelliher, at bit.ly/1WhIvqd

In addition to our volunteer chairs, over 3,500 volunteers have given their time, skills and expertise to volunteer for the IFoA in the past year alone. So why volunteer? Members have told us what volunteering means for them and what they get out of it, highlighting encouragement from their employer. Read their stories and listen to the film clip online at bit.ly/1QoOCVo 

In particular, if you are interested in getting into wider fields, or work in that area, take a look at the case studies written by John Young and Andrew MacFarlane. More case studies will be added soon.
