World class member support: the presidential target
Ronnie Bowie's Faculty Presidential address The world needs actuaries stated: "... the UK Profession will strive to become a world class member support organisation, supporting our members so that it is as easy as possible for them to continually develop and enhance their skills to meet each new challenge." The UKAPW should support this aim.
Selling the actuarial profession short
- Insiders: Members and students struggle with the basics e.g. logging CPD, finding papers relating to past actuarial events.
- Outsiders looking in: users of actuarial advice and graduates who are potential actuaries. What impression does the site create?
The UKAPW site does not live up to the "world class support" aim, especially contrasted with (e.g.) the SOA site – see our SOA review
But it's within our capabilities to fix it – fast. If we don't why should anyone believe we can tackle the harder problem of making financial sense of the future? How can we fix the site?
