The Geoffrey Heywood Prize was established in 2015 from a bequest left in Geoffrey Heywood’s will.
Geoffrey Heywood was President of the Institute from 1972 to 1974 and was the first consulting actuary to hold this post.
This is a prize for a paper or journal article that demonstrates excellent levels of communication and engagement with a general actuarial audience. Nominations are run in parallel with the Peter Clark Prize.
