Welcome to the 52nd Annual Fish Dinner!
Fellow peers and respected industry members, the University of Manitoba Actuarial Club would like to welcome you to the 52nd Annual Fish Dinner! It is with great pleasure that we welcome our special guest keynote speakers Dr. Lysa Porth, Guy Carpenter Professor in Agriculture Risk Management & Insurance, and Laura Bennett, CEO and Co-‐Founder of Embrace Pet Insurance.
The Fish Dinner is UMAC’s premiere recruitment event of the year, as well as a celebration of community and friendship. Together, students and industry members are given a chance to meet new people and forge new relationships, learn about current developments in the field, and celebrate scholarship winners (all while enjoying some excellent food!).
If you would like to learn more about UMAC this year you may log on to our website at http://www.umanitoba.ca/actuary_club/ where you will find plenty of information on upcoming events and other offered services.
On behalf of the UMAC executive team, we hope you enjoy tonight’s event, and we encourage you to give us any feedback you may have, as we would love to hear from you. Have a great evening!

On October 8, UMAC hosted it’s first ever Excel Workshop!
Students were introduced to basic Excel and VBA . functions that are used extensively within an
actuarial role. They learned how these tools help actuaries tackle tough challenges, and how they apply to real world situations. A special thank you to Ray Huynh for coaching our students!
