Emerging Leaders Subcommittee

This committee is responsible for ongoing relations with existing and prospective Academy members. It periodically reviews Academy membership and dues policies and recommends changes to the Board of Directors and Executive Committee. In fulfilling its charges, the committee is to ensure that member affiliations and new-member recruitment activities are included as a vital part of the Academy communications plan.

The MRS is charged with:

1. Periodically reviewing the Academy’s competency framework to ensure its relevancy and accuracy in determining the core competencies for practicing U.S. actuaries;
2. Reviewing requirements for membership in the Academy and exploring how to ensure that members are competent U.S. practitioners who are knowledgeable about U.S. laws and regulations in accordance with the competency framework;
3. Assisting the EC in reviewing and approving new and reinstatement Academy membership applications as may be directed by the EC; and
4. Collaborating with the Committee on Education to develop a gap analysis between the competency framework and the syllabi used by other actuarial organizations as well as other matters, and with any other committee working on related issues.

The Volunteer Engagement Subcommittee is charged with providing strategic guidance and leadership to further strengthen and support the Academy’s volunteer program. The subcommittee plays a key role in promoting and fostering an inclusive, dynamic environment by focusing on volunteer recruitment, opportunities, onboarding, training, leadership development, succession planning, and recognition. These efforts are essential for building and sustaining a diverse volunteer base that brings a broad range of perspectives to support the Academy in fulfilling its mission to serve the public and the U.S. actuarial profession.
