The Actuarial Women’s Committee
provides a meeting place for qualified and aspiring female actuaries. It originally started as a lunch table,
meant to connect female actuarial professionals and to provide a platform for them to empower and uplift one another.
The AWC's objectives are:

- To increase the number of qualified female actuaries in South Africa (Sub-Committee: Education)
- To promote the advancement of female actuaries in the workplace (Sub-Committee: Mentorship)
- To provide a forum in which aspiring female actuaries can network and identify sponsors (Sub-Committee: Events)
- To develop female actuarial leaders in the industry including increasing the number of females undertaking actuarial research (Sub-Committee: Leadership Development)
- To increase the number of females undertaking actuarial research (Sub-Committee: Research Development)
In addition to the objectives aligned sub-committees, we have the following supporting functions:
