Overview
Mission
The actuarial profession is a small, niche professional stem field that has been seeking to broaden the pool of candidates for many years. The actuarial field lags behind many industries and nearly all other stem fields in broadening the talent pipeline. Many actions are being taken within actuarial organizations to try to address these issues. There has been much focus given to increasing black and latinx representation, but there has not been adequate discussion and action taken to help the lgbtq+ community in our profession. Sagaa seeks to help lgbtq+ actuaries to thrive in their careers. By providing educational opportunities for actuaries to learn about challenges lgbtq+ people face, we seek to achieve broader inclusion and acceptance within actuarial workplaces.
What it reported doing in 2025
Sagaa engages in university outreach through various initiatives that strive to support aspiring lgbtq+ actuaries. In the current year, sagaa cosponsored networking events in New York city and atlanta, delivered bespoke presentations tailored to the needs of sponsoring organizations, joined panels, offered presentations, and represented the community at multiple industry events, effectively collaborated with other actuarial affinity groups to broaden outreach and attract all potential qualified candidates to the actuarial profession, and presented biases and lgbtq+ issues in insurance industry-wide in partnership with the soa drawing 2,000+ attendees.in 2025, scholarships were awarded to seventeen qualified lgbtq+ students and allies that are pursuing an actuarial career (each $2,500).
