We’re celebrating International Women’s Day by inviting women at different stages of their actuarial careers to share their insights on why recognizing this occasion is important and what the profession can do to be more inclusive and inviting for women.
In honour of International Women’s Day, we spoke with Narissa Dedhar, FCIA, who has been working in life consulting for over five years and acts as a principal at Oliver Wyman.
In 2022, Lynn Blackburn, the CIA’s Director of Professional Practice, Research and Governance, celebrated her thirtieth anniversary at the Institute.
Having landed in Canada as an adult, it didn’t take long for me to realize that, for my entire life, I took my “Blackness” for granted. I had undervalued the privilege of being able to live, move and work freely without being judged for the colour of my skin.
Black History Month celebrations shine a bright light on all the accomplishments of the men and women who paved a path for us to be where we are today and reminds us of those in the present who are carrying the torch.
