Message One
I look forward to your support to serve on the SOA Board. After 37 years as a member of the Society, I would enjoy the opportunity to contribute in a broader way to the profession that provided me with such a rewarding career. Having considerable experience in international insurance markets, capital markets solutions, and pension risk transfer through reinsurance, I bring a broad perspective as a board member. I have served on a number of corporate boards, and appreciate the value of good governance.
I am dedicated to promoting excellence in actuarial education and continuing professional development. I wish to ensure the effective implementation and monitoring of the FSA Pathway changes to ensure the SOA continues to obtain the most talented students, and achieves its goal “for all members and candidates to feel fully included and have equitable opportunities to enter, develop, grow and succeed in our chosen profession”.
I will champion initiatives aimed at fostering diversity, equity and inclusion within our profession as I firmly believe that a diverse range of perspectives is crucial for the continued success of our profession. In addition, I am committed to advocating for the profession and raising awareness of the invaluable role that actuaries play in society.
Message Two
Dear Fellow Actuary,
It is an honor to be an endorsed candidate for the SOA Board.
I am a recently retired reinsurance executive from a leading life reinsurer where I worked for 26 years providing financial and risk management solutions to our many international clients. I have led teams developing and providing the first pension risk transfer reinsurance solutions, raising private equity, and pursuing mergers and acquisitions. It has been a wonderful experience and now it is my time to give back to the profession that provided me with so many opportunities.
In addition to an abundance of enthusiasm and passion for our profession, I am a Canadian who has managed international teams and worked with domestic and foreign regulators and members of other actuarial organizations. I value strong governance and open communication, and I hope you will provide me with your support (and your vote) to serve you on the Board of the SOA.
I want to ensure the Society continues to attract the best talent to the profession and remains relevant through our international support and expansion while responding to global trends, competition, and technological change.
I hope you find the time to vote during the August 19 through September 6 election period and include me in your selection. Please feel free to reach out to me directly at dboettcher03@gmail.com or contact me through LinkedIn. I value your comments, questions, and feedback, and look forward to serving as your representative on the SOA Board of Directors.
Best regards,
David Boettcher, FSA, FCIA, MAAA
