Charm City to Host 2005 CAS Annual Meeting
By Courtney Mesmer, CAS Meeting Services Assistant

There's more to Baltimore than the Maryland blue crab. If you haven't been to Baltimore before, you'll discover at the 2005 CAS Annual Meeting that Baltimore is a vibrant city offering enough historic sites, professional and collegiate sports, museums, shopping facilities, and attractions for a city twice its size. Baltimore is known as "Charm City" because visitors never fail to be charmed by its hospitality, Chesapeake Bay cuisine, and wealth of history-and 2005 CAS Annual Meeting attendees will be no exception. Take it all in, especially the continuing education opportunities offered by the program, November 14-17 at the Renaissance Harborplace Hotel in Baltimore.

The Renaissance Harborplace Hotel in Baltimore is just minutes away from the harbor's many attractions. Hop aboard a water taxi, twirl pasta in Little Italy, or enjoy an array of nightlife in historic Fell's Point. In addition, art, music, and theater enthusiasts can enjoy Baltimore's wide range of cultural activities.

The general sessions will examine many areas of interest to casualty actuaries, such as rating agencies, risk transfer, actuarial credibility, and enterprise risk management. During the course of the Annual Meeting, the CAS will also offer a limited attendance general business skills workshop, focusing on strategic thinking.

In addition to two scheduled receptions, attendees and accompanying persons will have the opportunity to enjoy a special Tuesday evening buffet dinner event at a unique venue.
