Nominations are open for this year’s Actuary of the Year award.

The Actuaries Institute says the award recognises someone who has brought credit to the profession and made a key contribution to business, the community, government or the actuarial field.

The winner will have the capacity to promote the profession under the Actuary of the Year banner.

Last year’s award was presented to Taylor Fry co-founder Alan Greenfield, recognising his pioneering work in developing the “investment approach” to social welfare.

“It is expected that a particular recent contribution can be identified in making this award, although an ongoing contribution may be considered relevant,” the institute says.

Nominations must be submitted by Friday July 29, either online or via an interactive nomination form. Click here to register or for more information.
