Nicole Harrington, Chair of the IABA Annual Meeting Planning Committee

¡Bienvenido a Miami - Welcome to Miami!

Prepare to get energized, commit, and be transformed at the IABA 22nd Annual Meeting!

At this year’s meeting, you can expect to rekindle old friendships, create new bonds, develop personally and professionally, network with some of the profession’s most elite companies, and fall in love with the IABA.

This year’s theme is ‘Get Energized. Commit. Be Transformed.’ Our goal is to get each of you energized about the IABA and to commit to it’s mission. It is with this energy and commitment that both you and the IABA will be transformed!

This will be my 10th Annual Meeting! As a college student, I would leave each Annual Meeting feeling energized and empowered. Over time, that energy and empowerment would gradually fade. It wasn’t until I committed to IABA through active engagement and volunteerism that my transformation began. This shift of turning my passive energy into passion - now allows me to sustain the energy and empowerment I feel when I leave an Annual Meeting. Not only am I helping transform our great organization, but I am growing professionally and personally.

Over the years, I have contributed to IABA by serving in many roles. This year, I am honored to chair the Annual Meeting Planning Committee.

I couldn’t have possibly done this alone; words cannot express how grateful I am to work with the best event planner and of course, the Annual Meeting Planning Committee.

Now it’s your turn - ‘Get Energized. Commit. Be Transformed!’

Take in the sun, enjoy the beaches, engage in the melting pot of cultures, network with new and old friends, grow in the actuarial profession - the experiences and memories you will create are endless at this year’s Annual Meeting!

Don’t forget to use the hashtag #IABAInMiami

ACTUARIAL SCIENCE FOR AFRICA IN BENN FOR WEST AFRICA

The concept of organised insurance business is virtually unknown in Africa. In 2006, there were only a handful of fully-qualified actuaries or people with a profound actuarial background in West Africa – some of whom were already retired. Rapid economic growth within the region has only further highlighted the need for key knowledge around the insurance industry.

This inspired the establishment of a professional actuarial education program for West Africa in Benn. The project focuses on graduates who studied mathematics in West Africa who are inter-ested in actuarial science. The full study program extends over 5 years (three year bachelor’s degree, followed by an optional two year master) and includes internships, tutoring and continuous professional development.
