Help Shape the Candidate Experience - Apply to Become a CAWG Candidate Representative
The CAS Candidate Advocate Working Group (CAWG) is seeking candidates who are actively engaged in the exam process and interested in improving the candidate experience. As a Candidate Representative, you will have the opportunity to factor in your voice and contribute to initiatives that support others on the path to CAS credentials.
About the Role
Candidate Representatives are active members of CAWG and contribute to the Future Fellows newsletter. They collaborate with CAS volunteers and staff by providing feedback on candidate-focused projects and ensuring the perspectives of those actively pursuing CAS credentials are represented.
Examples of recent and upcoming CAWG initiatives include:
- Admissions communications targeted to candidates
- Focus Group for Exam Resources including Exam Preparation Resources
- 2026 Candidate Survey
Eligibility and Commitment
Applicants must be current CAS candidates who have sat for at least one CAS exam in the last 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 discussions between meetings, as needed
How to Apply
Submit the following materials by September 30, 2026:
- 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
Your voice matters. This is your opportunity to Factor In to the future of the candidate experience. Selected candidates will be notified in October. Terms begin in November 2026.
*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.
