Let it Snow, Let it Snow…You Should Go
Utah and Ratemaking Beckon

There's still time to register for the 2006 Ratemaking Seminar in Salt Lake City, Utah. CAS members, actuarial students, other insurance professionals and guests are invited to attend the seminar, which will be held March 13-14 at the Marriott Salt Lake City Downtown. The 2006 Ratemaking Seminar will offer myriad educational opportunities with over 40 concurrent sessions planned. A basic track of sessions has been designed for actuarial candidates and actuaries with modest ratemaking experience, while seasoned actuaries and other insurance professionals will be challenged with topics in various tracks such as:

  • Worker's Compensation
  • Reinsurance
  • Risk and Capital Management
  • Data and Technology
  • Regulatory Issues
  • Specialty Topics
  • Call Paper Discussions.
The seminar will kick off with a general session featuring panelists Robert V. James, senior managing director, president, CEO, and chief operating officer of Balboa Insurance Company and Michael Fusco, executive vice president and chief actuary, CNA Insurance Companies. The session will explore ways to manage an insurer through a soft market from the perspective of both a CEO and a chief actuary. Brian Z. Brown, consulting actuary, Milliman, will moderate the session.

A Town Hall Meeting on the current state of the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act (TRIA) and its future will close the seminar. Be ready for a lively debate on the merits of a recent U.S. Treasury study that concluded that insurers are now better able to bear unexpected losses than they were before TRIA.

There will be something for everyone in Utah—we'll see you there!
