Who We Are

The Canadian Institute of Actuaries (CIA) is the national organization of the actuarial profession. Member driven, the Institute is dedicated to serving the public through the provision, by the profession, of actuarial services and advice of the highest quality. In fact, the Institute holds the duty of the profession to the public above the needs of the profession and its members.

The CIA Secretariat has a dedicated group of 16 staff members located in Ottawa. The Secretariat looks after publications, communications, member services, translation, volunteer support, maintaining the website and professional development.

The CIA has a Board consisting of 16 actuaries, three Councils focused on the core needs of the profession, 40 committees and 15 task forces working on issues linked to the CIA's Strategic Plan.
