I have finally finished Preliminary Exams, and am just starting FAP modules.
I have a problem with the following rule related to FAP exams:
"Securing an Examination Supervisor:
Candidates wishing to take FAP Exam 1 must secure his/her own supervisor. Preferably, the Supervisor must be an
FSA in good standing. If an FSA is not available, the following are also acceptable:
--> FCAS, FCIA, FFA, FIA, FIAA, or FSPA
--> An individual who is in a supervisory position and who is not potentially able to write FAP in the future..."
I am IT Officer working on Investment side of an international Pension Fund, and currently there are no actuaries permanently employed by the Pension Fund. We have some CFA but neither FSA, nor FCAS.
How could I "secure an Examination Supervisor"?
Is anybody in the same position?
Bruce, you are the obvious champion of openness, democracy, and common sense in the SOA, what would be your advice?

Your second bullet point should answer your question:

"An individual who is in a supervisory position and who is not potentially able to write FAP in the future. (HR department rep or office assistant has occasionally served)"

So just pick anyone that won't ever take exams. Or try emailing local insurance companies and ask actuaries for help, but that may not be too effective.

If I am an FCAS and taking the FAP and there are no FSA in our office, can I supervise myself?
