In the world of actuarial science, professional growth continues long after the final exam. For many actuaries, joining the American Academy of Actuaries is a pivotal and advantageous step in their careers. We spoke with several longtime members about their experiences with the Academy. Their stories highlight how membership and their engagement with the Academy has benefited their careers, broadened their perspectives, and strengthened the profession.

Early-career actuaries explain how Academy membership sets them up for opportunities in professional engagement and public policy impact, which can significantly shape an actuary’s career path.
