External Organizations

The Council may grant Partner status to important institutions that especially concern themselves at the international level with matters of concern to actuaries.

Each Partner may appoint a non-voting representative to attend Council meetings, provided it agrees to invite an observer from the IAA to meetings of its governing body or at other meetings of particular relevance to actuaries. Partners have privileged access, subject to applicable rules, to IAA electronic communications and such other services as appropriate. Partners may participate in the IAA’s International Congresses subject to payment of the Congress registration fees.

Patrons are organizations that provide regular financial support to our volunteers who are developing the body of knowledge of actuarial science, enhancing the quality of services and the professional standards, and in general ensuring that the public interest is well served.

Council may grant Observer status to organizations upon acceptance of an invitation by the President, with the mutual intent of enhancing communications, liaison, exchanges and strategic support. Such invitations may be addressed to public, academic or industry institutions of relevant interest for the global actuarial profession, particularly those active at an international, supranational or regional level.

Observers’ participation in IAA Council and Committee meetings as well as meetings of other IAA entities, shall be detailed in a tailored and mutually beneficial agreement as approved by the Executive Committee.
