Why NAWA?

Our mission is to connect and empower women and allies of all backgrounds, races, ethnicities, and life circumstances to be successful in the actuarial profession.

In a profession rooted in data and risk, your greatest asset is connection. NAWA was created to fill a vital gap—uniting women actuaries and their allies across companies, backgrounds, and career stages to champion and support each other’s success.
