The IAIS created the Distinguished Fellows programme in 2004 to honour former Member representatives for their substantial involvement in IAIS activities and outstanding service. Honourees are nominated and approved by their peers. It is a special way of paying tribute to those who have selflessly contributed their time and expertise to advance the IAIS mission. In 2021 we recognised: Gabriel Bernardino (EIOPA) Long serving member of the Executive Committee, having served from 2010-2021.  In his position, Gabriel was a committed supporter of the IAIS and its activities, particularly supporting the strengthening of the role of the IAIS as a credible and globally recognised standard settler.  Played a pivotal role in the achievement of key compromises on crucial areas such as the ICPs, ComFrame, the ICS and the Holistic Framework.  Helped to shape the future strategic direction and activities of the IAIS via his active participation on ExCo as well as being a member in the SPFOTF.
