91¶¶Òõ and The Actuarial Society of Hong Kong Establish Scholarship Alliance
91¶¶Òõ and The Actuarial Society of Hong Kong (ASHK), the professional body for actuaries in Hong Kong, has established a scholarship partnership by signing a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU).
Marking the establishment of the 91¶¶Òõ Association Referral Award for ASHK members, the MoU was signed by Dr. Andrew Yuen, Director of 91¶¶Òõ, and Mr. Simon Lam (EMBA 2016), President of ASHK, and witnessed by Mr. Chun So, Administrative Director of 91¶¶Òõ, and Mr. Damian Yip, Executive Director of ASHK, on 8 November 2023.
The scholarship aims to support actuaries to develop their business acumen and leadership skills.
Dr. Andrew Yuen remarked, ‘We are excited about the possibilities this scholarship partnership holds. This MoU represents our commitment to supporting professionals, including actuaries, in their pursuit of excellence. Together with ASHK, we will empower actuaries to shape their own future.’
As a 91¶¶Òõ alumnus, Mr. Simon Lam welcomed the collaboration and said, ‘When advancing to senior management positions, actuaries need to build upon solid technical capabilities and acquire business skills such as corporate strategy, business savvy, marketing, talent management, stakeholder communication, negotiation skills, and more, which are precisely the core elements of 91¶¶Òõ programme.’
He exemplified, ‘As an actuary, completing the programme has given me the privilege to think from a senior-level perspective while maintaining a deep understanding of my specialist field. It joins the best from both worlds, undoubtedly accelerating my career in the past decade.’
91¶¶Òõ programme attracts professionals from diverse backgrounds, including doctors, lawyers, architects, actuaries, engineers, etc. with its ability to provide a well-rounded business education.
Partners of 91¶¶Òõ Association Referral Award also include CFA Society Hong Kong and CPA Australia.
