Why volunteerism matters to
the actuarial profession.
Shape Public Policy
Volunteering provides actuaries a unique opportunity to influence public policy and decision-making processes. By contributing expertise and analysis, they help shape legislation, provide input on regulations, and address complex challenges on issues facing our society.
Professional Development
Academy volunteers gain practical experience by analyzing policy issues, preparing testimony for Congress, and collaborating with regulatory bodies. These opportunities enhance their technical skills, deepen industry knowledge, and broaden networks within the actuarial community.
Promote Standards
By serving on a committee, volunteers contribute to maintaining competence, ethical conduct, and adherence to rigorous standards of practice. Their efforts and service ensure the continued trust and credibility of actuaries in serving the public interest.
“My experience volunteering for the Academy Board of Directors (as casualty vice president) has been both educational and rewarding. I have learned so much!”
“I recognize my volunteering opportunities as a simultaneous way both to learn from many of the best actuaries in the business and also to make a personal contribution to the profession at the same time.”
“Get out of your comfort zone and volunteer for the Academy! There so are many opportunities to meet other actuaries, expand your knowledge and challenge yourself to build new skills.”
“I’ve learned so much more about climate change and climate-related risk from my volunteer work, and that’s made me a better actuary.”
