Young Actuaries Advisory Board

Print This Page

The Actuaries Institute continues to promote greater diversity and inclusion. One of the ways this can be achieved is through the Young Actuaries Advisory Board (YAAB) - a forum for Council to hear from young members directly. 

This structured young members' body will also allow collaboration between members located in different states and overseas, thus increasing engagement amongst younger members both local and abroad.

Thank you to the members who submitted an expression of interest in joining the YAAB. The level of interest in being involved, and the calibre of younger members who expressed interest was outstanding.

The Presidential Committee also decided that, for this year only, the leader of the YAAB would be appointed rather than elected, so that the board can be functional as soon as possible.

Your new YAAB members are:


Queenie Chow (President) 
Jeffrey Chan (YAP President Asia) 
Harrison Gee (YAP President VIC) 
Tim Lam (YAP President NSW) 
Michelle Ng 
Jasmine Nguyen (YAP President QLD) 
Mark Samuels 
Garvin Tso 
Joyce Wang 
Tim Yip 
 
 

Young members are defined as members who are less than 35 years or have less than 15 years’ experience in the profession.
