Ira de Witte - Coordinator
My name is Ira and I am the coordinator of the Actuarial Congress. For the past year, I have been on the Board as Internal Affairs, Vice-Chairman, and Secretary for the study association VSAE. I was able to organize many educational and fun events throughout the year, including the Actuarial Congress. I am currently in the last phase of my bachelor Econometrics. The committee has worked very hard this year to set up a great congress and I can proudly say that this is the first year that the congress is held in English. We, the committee and the board, think it is very important to make the congress accessible to the students, as well as all actuaries. I’m looking forward to seeing all of you in March!
