The IFoA holds at least four CERA seminars each year for its members and one of the most positively commented features is the direct access the delegates have to our members who are experienced ERM (Enterprise Risk Management) practitioners.
These members come along to support us on the day and share their knowledge and expertise with the next generation of ERM practitioners and CROs.
We are always happy to appoint further members to these roles and would be delighted to hear from you.
