2005 CLRS Set For Boston
By Scott Weinstein, Chairperson, Joint Committee for the Casualty Loss Reserve Seminar

Actuaries, analysts, accountants, regulators, and other interested parties will have a great opportunity this fall to learn more about loss reserves in today's fast-changing environment at the 2005 Casualty Loss Reserve Seminar (CLRS). The CLRS will be held at The Boston Park Plaza & Towers in Boston on September 12-13. Other continuing education opportunities immediately following the CLRS are a Limited Attendance Seminar (LAS) on Asset Liability Management and Principles of Finance, to be held September 13-14, and "Small Consulting Firms and Practices Roundtable," conducted by the Conference of Consulting Actuaries (CCA) on September 13.

This year's CLRS also provides a unique opportunity to learn about the activities of the Casualty Actuarial Society, the CCA, and the American Academy of Actuaries as we continue to respond to the evolving insurance environment. Learn what we are doing as a profession to improve the actuarial work product and the Statement of Actuarial Opinion. Share your own views and concerns on actuarial communication and critiques of the reserving process, and participate in a number of interactive sessions.

The 2005 CLRS will offer over fifty sessions covering a variety of topics and tracks, including reinsurance reserving, financial reporting, variability and ranges, international issues, catastrophes and mass torts, professional development, emerging issues, and other areas specific to individual lines of business.

The LAS is an opportunity for attendees to become acquainted with both basic and advanced topics in the areas of finance and financial risk management and their applications to the pricing and analysis of property/casualty insurance.

Don't miss this opportunity to participate in these sessions and enjoy the fall in New England. For more information on sessions and registration, visit the online brochure.
