As many CAS members know, actuaries are often involved in acts of service for their communities, be it actuarially related or not! To highlight our members’ community service outside of the workplace, the CAS is launching our very own Actuaries in Community Month!

The 2021 Hachemeister Prize has been awarded to the paper “AGLM: A Hybrid Modeling Method of GLM and Data Science Techniques” by Suguru Fujita, Toyoto Tanaka, Kenji Kondo, and Hirokazu Iwasawa. The Hachemeister Prize is awarded annually to ASTIN Bulletin or ASTIN or AFIR Colloquium paper(s) based on several criteria but with emphasis placed on the paper's impact for North American actuaries and its practicality of application.

Streamlining the CAS governance structure, better leveraging of volunteers for their subject matter expertise, and increased empowerment of the CAS staff are among the changes resulting from an evolving volunteer-staff model framework adopted by the CAS Board of Directors.

Mallika Bender, FCAS, MAAA, has joined the Casualty Actuarial Society (CAS) as the organization’s first Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DE&I) staff actuary.

The CAS is seeking volunteer mentors to participate in our 2nd annual Student Central Summer Program, an eight-week interactive professional and educational experience for university students spanning June 14 thru August 6th.

Casualty Actuarial Society (CAS) members are among those who presented at last month’s virtual RIMS 2021 Annual Conference, April 19-30.

CAS admissions staff recently presented on the transition to computer-based testing and grading at the Association of Test Publishers (ATP) virtual 2021 Innovations in Testing Conference, April 27-29, 2021.

The Casualty Actuarial Society is excited to invite you to submit proposals to our innovative event. Following on the success of our event last year, the In Focus Seminar will be entirely virtual with presenters and attendees logging in from remote locations to attend this educational and networking event.

Based on the ratings (and ravings) of our 2020 virtual event attendees, the CAS has put together a package of the TOP three sessions from our signature events of 2020.
