New members meet at Institute

The New Members Networking Evening was everything as it should be: fun, relaxed and informative.

Despite being held on the same night as Origin Game 1, the event was surprisingly well attended. By 6.00pm, the room was filled with enthusiastic chatters. It could have been that many of us were excited to meet new people, or perhaps, relieved that it was the end of a busy working day. Whatever the reason, everyone was chirpy and keen to network.

I was fortunate to meet Senior Vice President Lindsay Smartt and learnt more about the Institute and the Council’s roles. Besides the event being a platform to make new connections, I also recognised a few familiar faces from my university days and Institute events I have attended previously, which was great.

The formal part of the evening featured a brief address by CEO David Bell and Senior Vice President, Lindsay Smartt, followed by an informative presentation on the Young Actuaries Program (YAP). The evening was insightful as I was able to speak to actuaries from diverse experience and backgrounds, besides meeting new comrades who will also be sitting the examinations.

Since joining the Institute, I have enjoyed the various seminars organised and like the idea of actuaries coming together and communicating. With that, I look forward to attending more Institute events and hope many other new members will too!
