Introducing our Newest NAWA Board Members

A year into things, NAWA is really starting to take off! We currently have 4 impact committees with 2 additional sub-committees, over 30 volunteers, and 10 committed sponsors. We have already seen tangible, positive impacts from our organization and have been encouraged and motivated by the support of our growing community. As our organization is expanding, we felt it was time for our Board to do so as well. We would like to announce and introduce to you, our newest NAWA Board members, Rae Warner and Ari Moskowitz.

Meet Rae Warner:

I am pleased to accept a position on the board of directors of NAWA. I was lucky to be involved in NAWA early on and have enjoyed being part of its journey so far. I truly believe that NAWA will continue to have a positive impact on women in the profession and grow that impact over time. As part of NAWA's kick-off event in 2021, I talked about the importance and power of allyship. I like to think of NAWA's partners as our allies and I see these partnerships as vital to increasing our reach in the profession. Some examples of key partnerships are those with other diversity networks, actuarial recruiters, industry non-profits, companies that employ actuaries, and our members. During my time on the board, I will look to establish the strategy and infrastructure within NAWA to continue to support and grow these partnerships. I believe this will broaden our reach and increase the impact NAWA has on the profession. This includes goals such as standing up the Corporate Action Council, increasing membership, partnering on events, continued focus on active allyship, partnering with the SOA and CAS to increase women's knowledge of the profession, etc. I am thankful for this opportunity and excited to work with NAWA's members and partners to broaden NAWA's reach and impact in the profession. I look forward to serving this community.

Meet Ari Moskowitz:

I'm excited to join the Network of Actuarial Women and Allies (NAWA) board in its mission to increase equity and representation of women in the actuarial industry, while creating a sense of community and providing opportunities for development. Through active involvement in DEI initiatives at work and volunteerism in the insurance industry, I've seen firsthand the power of allyship and the possibilities that can come to fruition by advocating on behalf of those underrepresented in our profession. I hope to use this opportunity to be a champion for progress in the industry through corporate engagement, policy advisory, unconscious bias awareness, and promoting allyship.
