Board Launches Online Question and Answer Forum

The CAS Board of Directors has launched a question and answer forum on the CAS Web Site that has opened the lines of communication between the Board and CAS members. The new feature, "Questions and Answers with the CAS Board of Directors," can be accessed through the member section of the Web site at www.casact.org/members/boardqanda.htm.

The Board encourages participation in the forum because input from the membership shapes the Board's position on current issues and can alert the Board to other matters of importance. The Board is particularly interested in members' thoughts on issues such as the education process, emerging practice areas on which to focus more research and continuing education, the CAS's international role, and how the CAS can better serve its membership.

The online forum is an extension of the open question and answer sessions traditionally held at CAS meetings. With the advent of the online forum, the sessions at meetings will only be scheduled when needed for discussion of pressing issues.

Members can submit their questions to the Board by completing an online form. The question and answer will then be posted to the Web page. A listing of previously submitted questions and answers will be maintained so that all members can see past discussion.
