At some point in your career, you may have heard the old adage, “It is not what you know, but who you know.” Unfortunately, this may bring up a slew of mixed emotions and thoughts about favoritism, nepotism or even thankfulness if you have benefitted from knowing someone. The thrust of this statement is pointing at who is in your network. While we may bristle at the adage above, I believe that a robust personal network is a valuable tool for your career. I would never argue that someone should get a job simply on the basis of a relationship.
As actuaries, we’re often presented with situations that ask for varying levels of detail. Technical stakeholders may be interested in the nitty-gritty detail, while executive stakeholders may be more interested in a high-level explanation. A key part of an effective communicator’s skill set is crafting a message that resonates with the intended audience. While these considerations are important in a professional setting, they also are important to consider when sitting for CAS exams.

To the Casualty Actuarial Society Community:
There has been a significant amount of discussion, debate, and research around the examination of rates and actuarial models for potential bias against protected classes. This has led to several potential approaches to measuring and mitigating potential bias. As with any emerging area, moving from a theoretical construct to practical implementation can be a challenge, and often results in unexpected implications. This session will cover the practical considerations around the implementation of several methods for measuring potential bias.
This webinar is 90 minutes.
This webinar is complimentary to non-North American audiences in the CAS.
Insurance companies now have access to actual driving data from connected vehicles or aftermarket sensors. US insurance companies have primarily leveraged this driving data as a pricing tool. Other countries may not have the rating flexibility to emulate the US products. The presenter will cover the opportunity beyond pricing primarily focusing on the safety use case.
The CAS has been invited to send actuaries to participate in a project aimed at reducing barriers to employment for people who were formerly incarcerated.
The project hopes to identify potential ways that commercial insurance products such as Employee Dishonesty Coverage and Public Fidelity Bonds/ Federal Bonding Program, can be used, improved, or supplemented to encourage more "fair chance hiring." The foundation running the project is hosting an in-person meeting in New York City in June 2024 to discuss this further.
In person and virtual options available.
Post-event will be sponsored by Emerald Group.
