Supporting a Diverse Profession
The Society of Actuaries believes that it best fulfills its mission when it is diverse and inclusive of all individuals, and that acceptance of diverse perspectives, cultures and backgrounds will attract the best talent and ensure the overall inclusivity of the actuarial profession.
To ensure a more diverse, equal and inclusive profession, the SOA is supporting a variety of organizations that advocate and help actuarial students, teachers and members around the world, including:
Abacus Actuaries is a network of aspiring, practicing, and former actuaries which strives to empower Asian professionals to achieve representation at the highest ranks of the actuarial discipline. To attain this goal, Abacus Actuaries facilitates community building, mentorship, and education programs to promote the professional development of its membership.
