What does a volunteer actuary do and how can it benefit them and their career as a financial professional? The Actuarial Profession website lists ways volunteers can help. These range from speaking at university and career events or mentoring a newly qualified colleague to joining a practice executive committee and being involved in developing professional policies. Becoming an examiner is another possibility. Volunteering opportunities allow you to make contacts and gain experience, which can all help you progress in your career as well as giving back to the profession. Available to download from the website is the annual report looking at the work of the institution’s volunteers. David, a specialist in life insurance and a member of several development boards and research committees, says “I have developed my leadership and strategic thinking capacity since becoming a volunteer.” See what volunteering in your profession may mean to you.
