CAS Seeks Nominations for Rodermund Service Award

ARLINGTON, Va. - Using letter, fax or E-mail, CAS members can forward their nominations for the 1997 CAS Matthew Rodermund Service Award to the CAS Office. The Rodermund award recognizes a CAS member who has made significant volunteer contributions to the actuarial profession. The award will be presented at the 1997 CAS Annual Meeting in November in Palm Desert, Calif.

When nominating a CAS member for the award, members are asked to include information detailing the nature of the nominee's volunteer service to the profession or Society. (The biographical section of the Index to Literature of the Casualty Actuarial Society is a good source of information on member contributions.) Please note: Service as an elected CAS officer or director, and authorship of Proceedings and discussion program papers will not be considered in the selection process. Past presidents of the CAS are not eligible for the award.

Members should return nominations to the CAS Nominating Committee Chairperson, Irene K. Bass, c/o Casualty Actuarial Society, 1100 North Glebe Road, Suite 250, Arlington, Va. 22203. The fax number for the CAS Office is (703) 276-3108; the E-mail address is office@casact.org.

CAS members established the award in 1990 to honor Matthew Rodermund's many years of volunteer service to the CAS. Rodermund, who is the Editor Emeritus of the Actuarial Review, spent many years coordinating all phases of the production process of this publication with the help of his wife, Edythe, in their home.

Former recipients of this award include: Walter J. Fitzgibbon, Jr., Dale A. Nelson, Robert A. Miller, Robert A. Bailey, Norman J. Bennett, and Robert B. Foster.
