CAS Welcomes New Affiliate Members

Thirteen actuaries from around the world have been accepted as the first CAS Affiliate members. The Board of Directors approved the creation of the Affiliate membership class in May 1998, and CAS Fellows approved appropriate revisions to the CAS Constitution and Bylaws on November 13, 1998.

Affiliates are qualified actuaries who practice in the general insurance field and wish to be active in the CAS. Affiliates do not hold Fellow or Associate designations but have attained the highest actuarial designation of an organization that is a member of the International Actuarial Association. Affiliate members must be sponsored by a CAS Fellow and must show evidence of significant practice in the property/casualty field. Affiliate members receive CAS literature and notices, and may attend CAS meetings but are nonvoting members. They may also participate in all programs and committees with the exception of the Board and Admissions Committees. They are assessed the same dues as Fellows and Associates.

As of March 7, 2000, the following actuaries have been accepted as CAS Affiliate members:
