Summer's Here and the Time is Right…to Register for CLRS
By Scott Weinstein, Chairperson, Joint Committee for the Casualty Loss Reserve Seminar

Summer is the time to register for the 2005 Casualty Loss Reserve Seminar (CLRS) and other key educational offerings following this popular seminar. The 2005 CLRS will be held at the Boston Park Plaza Hotel & Towers in Boston on September 12-13, and is a cosponsored by the CAS, the American Academy of Actuaries, and the Conference of Consulting Actuaries (CCA).

For 2005, the CCA is offering the afternoon session "Small Consulting Firms & Practices Roundtable" on September 13. The CAS will also offer a limited attendance seminar on Asset Liability Management and Principles of Finance on September 13-14.

The CLRS will again offer basic and intermediate reserving sessions, corresponding with our one-day registration rate available to CAS candidates and attendees who are not members of CAS. Please pass this information along to those who would benefit from some reserving information.

With over 50 sessions offered in a variety of areas, CLRS attendees will have the opportunity to learn the latest information on lines of business; financial reporting; variability and ranges; international issues; catastrophes and mass torts; reinsurance; professional development; and emerging issues.

The deadline for early registration is Friday, August 26, after which the registration fees will increase by $50. The final day to cancel and still receive a refund (minus $50) is Friday, September 2, and all requests must be in writing.

Don't miss this opportunity to participate in these seminars and enjoy the city of Boston. For more information on the CLRS sessions and registration, visit the online brochure.
