b. Value Proposition (CONT’D)

A global perspective for the actuarial profession is needed to meet the challenges of a globalized financial services industry environment. This will benefit all member associations, and their members, by:

1. Facilitating international collaboration SO1

2. Establishing a common level of quality for education, standards and professionalism SO3

3. Supporting the development of the profession SO4

4. Facilitating relevant research SO2

5. Disseminating relevant information SO5

Following comments made:

• Not convinced about the value proposition: where will it be positioned in the IAA: in the statutes?

• Show include how we can focus on public interest

• Find ways to engage one on one or in smaller groups

• Would be useful to have a general framework for IAA
