The SOA Board has recently decided to propose a change to the SOA’s legal structure and tax-exempt status to create a new not-for-profit corporation – 501(c)(6) with the Society of Actuaries name in promoting the actuarial profession. The current SOA 501(c)(3) will be renamed the Society of Actuaries Research Institute, a controlled affiliate of the SOA. The SOA Bylaws require a vote of the Fellows (FSAs) to approve the amendments necessary to adjust the current 501(c)(3) entity in conjunction with the simultaneous creation of the new 501(c)(6) entity. The SOA Bylaws require approval of by a two-thirds majority of voting Fellows, or by at least 10% of Fellows, whichever is greater. Learn about the bylaws change and voting for Fellows.
