Resource and Environment Board - Two Deputy Chairs

The Institute and Faculty of Actuaries, (IFoA), has set up a new Board with responsibility for sustainability issues, including but not limited to resource depletion and environmental issues such as climate change.

The IFoA is seeking to appoint two enthusiastic, innovative and committed volunteers to join this important Board as Deputy Chairs. They will be someone who has a real desire to lead and influence the outputs of this emerging practice area, and build on the work carried out over the last few years by the Resource and Environment Member Interest Group (REG MIG).

As the IFoA is appointing two Deputy Chairs there will be individual responsibilities for each Deputy position. One of the roles will be (additionally) responsible for the constituency research and will be appointed with a view of progressing to the role of Chair after two years. The second appointed Deputy Chair will act as additional support to the chair as the R and E Board establishes.

Skills and Experience:

Prior work experience in this area is not a requirement; the deputy chairs could be from any existing actuarial area, however it would be preferred if one of the applicants has been involved with the REG MIG.
