Explore the latest initiatives driving the SOA. Learn how the Society of Actuaries is embarking on a long–term journey with other key North American actuarial organizations to market and position the actuarial profession, establish actuaries as more primary leaders and decision makers in their traditional marketplace and establish an initial footprint in the broader financial services market.
Continuing Professional Development Announcement for SOA Members
In March 2007, the Society of Actuaries' Board of Directors approved a motion establishing the Continuing Professional Development (CPD) Requirement for SOA members. The Board commissioned a group of your fellow members (the Knowledge Management Strategic Action Team, or KMSAT) to oversee development of a requirement for Board approval at a future meeting.
Marketing and Market Development Plan
The Society of Actuaries is embarking on a long–term journey with the other North American actuarial organizations to market and position the actuarial profession, establish actuaries as more primary leaders and decision makers in their traditional marketplace and establish an initial footprint in the broader financial services market (e.g. commercial and investment banks, mutual funds). Please read the Marketing and Market Development Plan PDF file below for more information.
Creating Demand–Enterprise Risk Management (ERM)
When actuaries are recognized as one of the pre–eminent professionals in Enterprise Risk Management (ERM), they will serve in large numbers throughout traditional areas of practice and in responsible positions in the broader financial services arena. There is strong evidence of rapidly increasing demand for ERM professionals, and therefore the SOA Board of Directors organized a Task Force to address strategic profession—and industry–wide needs regarding ERM.
