For this year’s Advisory Council election, we had one available space with more than one Fellow applying and therefore a ballot vote of members was required. We are delighted to announce that Nicola Morgan, of Cummins, has been successfully elected from our Fellow members to the Advisory Council for her first term.
Ruston Smith has been re-elected as Chair of the PMI’s Board for a further term of three years. Sarah Drummond, of the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries was also re-elected to the Board for three years as an external co-option.
Gareth Tancred, CEO of the PMI, comments: “As the PMI continues in its goal to encourage high standards across the UK pension industry, the role of the President is crucial.

The role of the PMI in supporting, informing, and equipping trustees and pension professionals to develop and grow has never been more important.
