Brief Background of the Society

The WAII Society of Fellows was formed in 1994 in recognition of individuals who have contributed immeasurably to the academic and infrastructural development of the Institute.

The Society was resuscitated in 2017 at an Inaugural Dinner hosted in Banjul, The Gambia, by the former President of Sierra Leone, Dr. Ernest Bai Koroma, who is also an alumnus of WAII having been a member of the pioneer batch of students of the One Year Diploma in Insurance Program of 1979.

All existing and new members of the Society were formally inducted into the Society during the Inaugural Dinner in 2017 which also had HE President Adama Barrow, President of the Republic of The Gambia in attendance.

 

Objectives of the Society of Fellows

The society has three main objectives.

  1. To serve as a forum for Continuous Professional Development (CPD)
  2. To create a platform for elders in the industry to retain their affiliation and allegiance to WAII
  3. To create and develop a faculty of professionals who can contribute to the academic and professional life of WAII even in retirement
