The 2022 CIA Elections results are in: Presenting your new Board members

We are pleased to announce the election of five new members to the CIA Board, effective July 1, 2022.

What does it mean for actuaries to act in the public interest?

The CIA is guided by a set of principles. The first, in both order and importance, states: “In carrying out its activities and programs, the Institute holds the duty of the profession to the public above the needs of the profession and its members.” This has been an area of much discussion for members and stakeholders. What duty does the profession hold to the public? How do we define the notion of public interest? How do actuaries fulfill their obligation to the public? The CIA Board decided to examine such questions more carefully, and a Statement on the duty that the CIA holds to the public was approved to elaborate on the issue.
