NAME OF FEATURE | THE GLEANER | MONDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 2020 18 DUGGAN CONSULTING LTD 50TH ANNIVERSARY I N 2016 at the St John’s Colloquium in Newfoundland, Cathy Lyn assumed the post of chair of the International Association of Consulting Actuaries (IACA). This is a unique organisation bring- ing together consulting actuaries worldwide. It was formally consti- tuted in 1968 at the Munich meet- ing, with its own rules, evolving into the Consulting Section of the International Actuarial Association (IAA) in 1999. Duggan Consulting Limited con- tinues the tremendous investment that R. Watson & Sons made to the worldwide actuarial consulting in- dustry since the inception of IACA. Lyn’s leadership objective for IACA was to grow the organisation and give the membership more depth. This would lead to IACA’s diversity to bring on board more consultants in exciting emerging frontiers such as data science, cybersecurity, climate change, developing economies, pandemics, disaster protection and banking. During Lyn’s term as chair, she made progress with younger ac- tuaries by showcasing a group of extraordinary young actuaries from Jamaica, England and South Africa. With her enthusiasm, she continues to increase IACA’s mem- bership, using every opportunity to wave IACA’s flag. She also con- tinues to represent IACA’s inter- ests by championing Diversity of Thought . The sixth episode of Diversity of Thought will be pre- sented on December 1, 2020 at the CAA Conference.
