In addition, the proposed CAS Constitution and Bylaws amendments that would allow five-year Associates to vote in CAS elections for President-Elect and Board of Directors were approved, with 69.9% of those casting a ballot on the measure voting to approve. Constitution and Bylaws changes require an affirmative vote from 10% of the Fellows or two-thirds of the Fellows voting, whichever is greater. The vote counts on the amendments are as follows:

Approve: 1,293 (69.9%)

Do Not Approve: 558 (30.1%)

A total of 1,928 Fellows voted (33.3%), as compared to 1,948 Fellows last year (33.9%).

Finally, the Board appointed Sean Kevelighan, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Insurance Information Institute (III), to replace Brad Monterio as an appointed director. Jodie Slaughter and Talithia Williams were re-appointed as non-member directors.

Congratulations to the new President-Elect and Board members. These members will assume their positions at the close of the 2020 Annual Meeting in November.

On behalf of the CAS, I thank all of the candidates in the 2020 elections for their willingness to run and, for those elected, your servitude and leadership in the CAS.
