Opportunities to Support the Profession

February 2016

ERM Knowledge Base Editorial Board
Call for Volunteers

Through the auspices of the IAA’s Enterprise and Financial Risk Committee (EFRC), a project is underway to create an enterprise risk management (ERM) knowledge base—a one-stop place to learn about ERM as it pertains to actuaries. It will contain articles, papers, presentations, etc., across a broad spectrum of risks and risk management concepts, drawing on information from a wide variety of countries. It will be accessible through the IAA website.

A dedicated committee has been working on the structure and implementation of this knowledge base and is collecting and organizing the references to be included. However, in order to have a sufficiently robust library of information, it requires the input of actuaries familiar with different risks and geographic locations.

The committee is seeking volunteers interested in advancing ERM knowledge throughout the actuarial profession. Specifically, volunteers will be asked to identify resources that can be referenced by the knowledge base, and complete a simple template so that the reference can be loaded into it.

If you are interested in expanding actuaries’ ERM knowledge, please contact Michele Goldberg.

Insurance Hall of Fame and Founder’s Award
Call for Nominations

The International Insurance Society (IIS) provides a forum for leading insurance professionals to share interests and ideas on pertinent global issues. Its annual Global Insurance Forum will be held at Singapore’s Shangri-La Hotel on June 12–15, culminating in the induction of Insurance Hall of Fame and John S. Bickley Founder’s Award laureates.

The IIS welcomes the nomination of candidates for both awards. The search is global but the scope of nominees’ contributions can be local or regional.
