2011 SOA Board of Directors Elections Results Announced; Manning to Serve as President in 2012-2013
At the close of several weeks of voting, Tonya Bowman Manning, FSA, MAAA, FCA, EA, has been elected President of the Society of Actuaries for the 2012-2013 term. Manning will serve as President-Elect during the association's 2011-2012 year and will begin her presidential duties at the SOA's Annual Meeting to be held in October 2012 in Washington, D.C.
Manning serves as an actuary for the Department of Treasury with involvement in a number of activities related to employee plans, including participating in regulation projects, reviewing ruling requests, public outreach, and assisting private practitioners and internal personnel with technical questions. Prior to joining the Department of Treasury, she spent 22 years at Aon Consulting and was chief actuary for the U.S. retirement practice. She has held a number of volunteer positions with the SOA, most recently serving as Vice President.
Manning graduated from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1988 and resides in Winston-Salem, North Carolina with her husband Kent.
As the SOA's 64th President, Manning intends to be a strong advocate for the profession by sustaining its viability, maintaining the high value of the Society's credentials and effectively supporting the organization's members.
"As President, my top priority will be the creation and promotion of new areas of practice, while at the same time keeping our current traditional areas of practice strong and relevant. I will also work to ensure actuaries' voices are heard in the important conversations of today. While our research and analytics often support important debates and decisions, we can do more to bring actuaries front and center in the discussions of today's issues, such as health care, increases in longevity, the sustainability of public pensions, and the effective forecasting and management of financial risk," Manning said.
Nearly 5,800 SOA members, or 31.3 percent of eligible voters, voted in this year's election, compared to approximately 5,200, or 29 percent, in 2010.
