Professionalism webinar: Keeping Up Internationally—The IAA, Model International Standards, and the U.S. Actuary

December 15, 2011

What influence does the International Actuarial Association (IAA) have on you as a U.S.-based actuary? More than you think. Join the Academy’s Council on Professionalism on Dec. 15 to learn more about the IAA’s role and how its activities may affect you.

The IAA—a worldwide association of professional actuarial associations—has many committees, with members from around the globe, that address actuarial issues similar to those of concern and interest to U.S. actuaries. As the global economy affects our own economy and progress, actuaries—regardless of where they live—need to keep up with current international events and stay informed about proposed changes that may affect how they approach their U.S. practice. Register now [1] for this Dec. 15 webinar to learn more as the IAA continues to encourage the development of the actuarial profession and professionalism in the international domain.

In this webinar, you will learn about:

IAA’s structure and its role in the U.S. profession
Activities of the IAA Professionalism Committee that affect your actuarial life—from both a company and/or consulting viewpoint
Activities in the development of “international standards” and how you can influence its development

This webinar is being presented by the Academy's Council on Professionalism and co-sponsored by the SOA, CAS, CCA and ASPPA.
