At this time last year, with the development of the IFoA’s 2020-24 strategy in its final stages, we began to revisit what our ‘purpose’ is, knowing how critical this would be in setting our ambition and in the way we deliver it.
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.
On 10 September Council held its first meeting of the 2020/2021 sessional year by video conference and welcomed its new Council members, who were elected at our AGM in June.
There are lots of ways to define ‘culture’; one I favour is ‘the way we do things’. I joined the IFoA to support its transformation and I know that it is unachievable without the right member-centric culture.
As a new sessional year begins for the IFoA, it is a pleasure to welcome Tan Suee Chieh as president and to continue with the strategy agreed by Council.
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.
Many of you will have seen the announcement that, after nearly a decade, I am stepping down from my role as CEO of the IFoA later this year a decision made with mixed emotions.
Last month, the revised Actuaries Code came into force, serving as an important reminder of the high ethical standards the public have come to expect from members of the IFoA
