The Actuarial Network at City (TANC) was set up in August 2007 as a means of providing a stronger network for the actuarial alumni of Bayes Business School.

 

TANC's three main aims are:

• To be a dynamic community where actuarial alumni can maintain contact with each other, network and socialise with like-minded professionals and friends and benefit from continuing personal and professional development while having fun

• To foster a continuing relationship between Cass and its actuarial alumni post-graduation

• To encourage the actuarial alumni community to provide promotion and support to Cass on an ongoing basis.

 

To do this, a TANC committee was established, comprising of Bayes Professors and Bayes alumni who are business professionals in the actuarial industry.

 

 

To achieve our objectives, we identified three strategies:

• To organise unique events of interest for actuarial alumni and their business contacts, which add value to attendees and provide networking opportunities

• To provide support to current students of Cass, who are the alumni of the future, and to thus encourage an ongoing relationship with TANC once they have left the university

• To open doors to the actuarial industry through sponsorship contacts

 

TANC’s main focus is to organise unique events in slightly wider fields than actuarial professionals may typically have access to through their work.
