Professionalism
Deep Dive on the Code of Conduct 2.0
When is the last time you read the Code of Professional Conduct? In this popular repeat session format, we will take you through it Precept by Precept, in a fun, interactive session with brand new scenarios. Behaving “professionally” is not always a black-and-white exercise – we operate in many grey areas, so it's good to discuss in a group how these precepts apply in realistic situations. Our new scenarios will include many scenarios that may occur in our day-to-day work activities.
Speakers:
- Ron Kozlowski, Lead Consultant, RTK Actuarial & Professional Services
- Kenneth Hsu, Lead Actuary, Breach Insurance
Session 3
Wildfire: Challenges and Solutions in a Shifting Paradigm
In the past 5 years, flames have blazed across the American West, particularly California, like never before. The heat is being felt by insurance carriers, homeowners, and regulators, as rates rise yet profitability suffers, igniting a need to rewrite the rulebook for wildfire in the insurance industry. Homeowners living in the wildland urban interface (WUI) are struggling to understand the best actions to take to protect their homes and communities from fire while avoiding non-renewals. In this session, we will discuss how climate change and other natural forces are exacerbating the frequency and severity of wildfire, how these changes are affecting the insurance market in California, and what fire scientists, modelers, actuaries, and community leaders are doing to balance the market and help reduce property loss.
Speakers:
- Molly Barth, GIS Analyst, Milliman
- Robert Lee, Actuary, Milliman
Session 4
Actuaries on the Path Less Traveled

1. They will discuss their career path at their non-traditional companies or roles.
2. Steps taken to get to where they are
3. How their actuarial training and knowledge aids them in their current role.
Speakers:
