Candidate Biographical Sketch

Alice graduated with a business degree from the University of Manitoba. She worked for an insurer while gaining her actuarial credentials, then moved state-side as a consultant to small and mid- size insurers, fraternal orders and associations, and various regulatory agencies. Over the last seven years, she has focused on providing statutory financial examination and related support to states, and product filing and rate review for life, annuity and health products for the Interstate Insurance Product Regulation Commission. She is very active in the actuarial community, being a volunteer, presenter and leader for various American Academy of Actuaries (Academy) life and health work groups, Society of Actuaries sections, and actuarial clubs. She is a past president of the Actuaries’ Club of the Southwest. She is currently chair of the Academy Life Valuation Committee, and has been active in various workgroups for principle-based approaches for risk-based capital and reserves since 2006.

The Academy's mission is to serve the public and the U.S. actuarial profession. My service on the Board will allow me to:

Help guide the Academy in its service to the public and the profession on a wider scale than my current service within the Life and Health Practice Councils. This includes developing strategies to address emerging issues as well as modify or support current initiatives in professionalism, education, and regulatory input. I also believe my participation can bring new ideas to initiatives that continue to encourage others in the profession to volunteer their time and skills to support the mission of the Academy.
