Celebration of New Fellows and Associates and Awards Presentation

The 2020 CAS Annual Meeting kicked off with a virtual celebration of our 350 new Associates and Fellows, who celebrated their achievements in personal and unique ways, with surprise special guests offering their congratulations. The session also included recognition of our 2020 award winners and the traditional handoff of the CAS Presidential Medallion from CAS President Steve Armstrong to CAS President Elect Jessica Leong, presented in a non-traditional way.

Town Hall with CAS Leaders

CAS leaders introduced the 2021-2023 CAS Strategic Plan, which is encapsulated in our new Envisioned Future, the Vivid Descriptions of that future, and our strategic areas of focus for the next three years that will propel us forward. The leaders also covered other initiatives taking place within the CAS, such as in the examination system, while answering questions from attendees.

CEO/Executive Roundtable: Perspective On 2020 And Outlook For 2021

CAS President Steve Armstrong moderated the panel discussion, which included Victor Carter-Bey, D.M., CAS CEO, Sean Kevelighan, President and Chief Executive Officer, Insurance Information Institute, Ryan Michel, FCAS, MAAA, MBA, President & CEO, Allstate Insurance Company of Canada, and Alice Underwood, FCAS, MAAA, CERA, Ph.D., Global Leader, Insurance Consulting and Technology, Willis Towers Watson

The Actuary and Social Justice

Every actuary knows their responsibility towards avoiding unfairly discriminatory variables in ratemaking. But where does the concept of “disparate impact” fit in? And what does it mean towards the responsibility an actuary has to investigate, highlight and fight systematic biases in insurance? At its best, insurance serves as a tool for incentivizing good behavior. How can our profession apply that to uncovering issues of bias in the workplace and society at large? This session explored ways in which actuaries can use data driven approaches to uncover and action inequality.

We look forward to seeing you next year at the 2021 CAS Annual Meeting scheduled for November 7-10, 2021. We would also like to thank our 2020 CAS Annual Meeting sponsors for playing a huge part in making the 2020 CAS Annual Meeting a successful event!
