As a professional body, we are proud to have Honorary Fellows who have been leaders in their fields of business, academia, government, and other public bodies, in the UK and internationally.
Many of our Honorary Fellows have strong links to the profession and complement the work of IFoA members around the world.
The IFoA seeks nominations for individuals who might be invited to be put forward for election as an Honorary Fellow.
Based on the current bye-laws and subsequent guidance provided by Council, Honorary Fellow nominees should be individuals who:
Further to this, proposed Honorary Fellows will also be considered in the extent to which they can support the profession’s strategy and public purpose set out in the Royal Charter. As part of this process we are looking to diversify the pool of Honorary Fellows.
Honorary Fellows have the same voting rights as Fellows but are not subject to a member subscription fee. Honorary Fellows are subject to the Actuaries’ Code, and we would expect them to behave in a way that would not damage the reputation of the IFoA. Honorary Fellows are not subject to the IFoA’s Disciplinary and Capacity for Membership Scheme, but may have their membership suspended or removed in accordance with these criteria, as agreed by Council.
All nominations by IFoA members require a proposer and a seconder from within the IFoA membership. Nominations are considered biennially, and are typically assessed by the new Council Appointments Committee against a number of specified criteria to determine whether the nomination should be submitted to Council for formal consideration.
If you wish to submit a nomination please:
