As part of our commitment to our members, the IFoA is holding membership fees at 2019 levels for another year. And, of course, members can now access all IFoA online events for free. To help the IFoA support members worldwide – and to avoid late payment surcharges – we ask that members renew before 31 October 2021.

The IFoA and the IFoA Foundation are taking this opportunity to reach out to the membership, thanking those who have generously supported the Foundation so far and explaining more about the work it has done since its launch in 2020.
