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.
This month’s magazine continues our campaign to showcase the expertise and influence that actuaries have had, and continue to have, beyond the profession.
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.
In 2016, under the leadership of the then immediate past president Nick Salter, the IFoA published a four-year diversity strategy: a thoughtful and informed plan to promote recognition, understanding and respect of our members’, volunteers’ and colleagues’ individual differences.
September is the start of a new academic year in many countries, and even for those no longer part of an academic cycle, it is often a time for reflection and setting new goals. It is always healthy, I think, to step back periodically and take stock of how things are going.
