About the Role

Candidate Representatives are active members of CAWG and contribute to the Future Fellows editorial board. They provide valuable feedback on candidate-focused projects and ensure that the perspectives of those currently pursuing CAS credentials are represented.

Recent and upcoming CAWG initiatives include:

  • CAS Exam Answering & Grading Insights Videos
  • Admissions communications targeted to candidates
  • Feedback on Priorities of the Admissions Governance Committee
  • Score Report Enhancements
  • Candidate Survey (scheduled for summer 2026)

Eligibility and Commitment

Applicants must be current CAS candidates who have sat for at least one CAS exam in the two years. If you do not meet this requirement but are still actively pursuing the credential, you may apply with a brief explanation.

Selected representatives will serve a two-year term and are expected to participate in:

  • Bi-monthly virtual meetings
  • An annual in-person or virtual meeting
  • Occasional ad-hoc meetings as needed
  • Email-based discussions as needed

If you hold the ACAS or FCAS designation and are interested in volunteering with CAWG, you may indicate your interest through the Volunteer section of your CAS profile.

How to Apply

Submit the following materials by September 30, 2025:

  • A completed online application
  • A letter of reference from a CAS member or current CAWG member (this letter should confirm your professionalism and involvement in the property-casualty actuarial field, as CAWG may occasionally discuss confidential matters)
  • A current resume

Selected candidates will be notified in October. Terms begin in November 2025.
