What do actuaries and engineers have in common?

More than most people realize.

Behind resilient financial systems, sustainable infrastructure, equitable healthcare, and data-driven decision-making lies a common foundation: mathematics, analytical thinking, and a commitment to solving real-world problems.

The IABA DC Affiliate and NSBE DC are excited to bring together professionals, students, and emerging leaders for an engaging cross-disciplinary STEM conversation:

The Math Behind the Mission

A discussion exploring how technical careers create measurable impact across industries—and how we can build stronger pathways for the next generation of Black STEM professionals.

📅 Tuesday, June 16, 2026
⏰ 6:00 PM ET
📍 MLK Memorial Library, Room 401A
Washington, DC

Whether you’re an actuary, engineer, student, data professional, or STEM enthusiast, this event offers a unique opportunity to connect, learn, and gain fresh perspectives on the power of quantitative careers.

And because great conversations shouldn’t end when the panel does, we’ll continue networking over drinks and appetizers at Hard Rock Cafe DC immediately following the event.

Join us as we bridge disciplines, build community, and explore how the math behind our work shapes the world around us.

Admission is free. Register today and reserve your spot.

Leadership growth doesn’t happen by accident. It happens when you become intentional about how you want to grow and lead. That’s what stood out in Anzhane Lance’s experience with IABA’s Emerging Leaders Program.

As an Actuarial Senior Manager at Aetna, Anzhane joined the program looking to continue growing as a leader, not just technically, but personally and professionally. In her words:

“This program pushes you to think about yourself and what you want for your growth journey.”

That’s the difference.

The Emerging Leaders Program isn’t just about leadership theory. It’s about creating the space to think intentionally about:
• How you lead
• How you communicate
• How you show up
• Where you want to grow next

And for those thinking:
“I don’t have time” or “I’m not sure how this benefits me”—

This is exactly the kind of investment that changes trajectory.

Applications are now open for Cohort 2

Application window closes August 14

Don’t wait until the last minute; the application requires a recommendation letter.
