After considering the issues regarding nominations and elections considered by the Governance Task Force during that group’s deliberations in 2009 and 2010, the Board of Directors of the American Academy of Actuaries, in an effort to expand voting for Regular Directors beyond those who attend the annual meeting, has authorized the Academy to implement a petition and electronic voting process for those positions. The Board of Directors adopted these changes, as described in the Nomination and Election Procedures section of this Election Center, as a one-year trial. This petition process is in addition to the existing process that has existed for some time for members to recommend names directly to the Nominating Committee.
The Nominating Committee of the Academy is seeking nominations for members to stand for election as regular directors to the Academy Board of Directors. Three Regular Directors for the Academy Board of Directors will be elected by members to three-year terms, with terms beginning at the close of the Academy’s 2011 Annual Meeting and Luncheon on October 24. The meeting will be held in conjunction with the Conference of Consulting Actuaries’ Annual Meeting in Las Vegas.
