From the President by Patrick J. Grannan
One of the roles of the CAS president is to visit as many of the CAS Regional Affiliates as practical. From my perspective,
these visits have been both enjoyable and very worthwhile. Members and candidates get a firsthand report on current CAS
activities, and the president gets valuable input.
The Regional Affiliates are vibrant professional organizations. I'd strongly encourage CAS members who haven't
been active in their Regional Affiliates lately to attend the next meetings and consider volunteering for some of the
organizational work. I believe you will find the benefits well worth the effort.
The activities of the different Regional Affiliates vary somewhat. One function they all serve is to provide opportunities
for actuaries in the same geographic area to get to know one another and share experiences. This is valuable professionally
in addition to being socially enjoyable.
