GI Professional Standards Committee (GIPSC) - Chair

An opportunity has become available for a senior GI Fellow to volunteer to take on the role of Chair of the General Insurance Professional Standards Committee (GIPSC). 

This is an important role for the GI community as the Chair will also be invited to sit on the GI Practice Executive Committee (GI PEC) as a full member. 

Skills and Experience: 

We are ideally seeking a member who is a Fellow of the IFoA with the following:  

• excellent knowledge of GI standards  
• perspectives across the GI community, both UK and international  
• appreciation of limitations of standards and difficulties faced by practitioners arising from their introduction  
• understanding of how to win cross-professional buy-in for regulatory change and an understanding of, and willingness to work well with, the IFoA regulatory committee (PREC)  
• good influencing skills and a proven track record/ability to act as an effective Chair.

View detailed Task and Person Specification 

Time Commitment:  

1 – 2 days per month.  This is made up in attendance at committee meetings and follow up actions / consultations.  There are currently 6 GIPSC meetings held each year and 6-8 GI PEC meetings also held each year.  All are held at Staple Inn, London, but attendance by conference call is available.

Having read the above, if you feel you have the relevant skills and experience and would like to take on an influential role to benefit both the GI community and the IFoA as a professional body, then please contact Debbie Atkins, Head of Volunteer Engagement.  When contacting Debbie please provide a brief overview of your relevant skills and experience and the reason you would ideally like to take on this role.  A note of your ARN would also be helpful. 

It is hoped that this appointment can be made in time for the start of the new Session in September but the outgoing Chair has kindly offered to provide a mentoring role/overlap to allow a seemless transition.
