As we head into the busy end-of-year season, the CAS recognizes that it may be difficult to stay informed about forthcoming updates being implemented through our Admissions Transformation Plan (ATP), so we are providing a preview at this time.

The Board of the Casualty Actuarial Society (CAS) is currently seeking proposals for review and recommendations to enhance the membership association’s governance system. Preference is for a consultant with experience and expertise in working with professional membership associations and Board of Directors’ governance.

In our ongoing effort to promote inclusion and diversity, the CAS Board voted unanimously to add an optional profile question to the CAS Member Dashboard and to amend another.

The Casualty Actuarial Society yesterday announced the winners of the first-ever CAS Hacktuary Challenge, a contest designed to showcase the actuarial skill set in developing novel risk engineering solutions. Entrants were challenged to create an end-user application that would be actuarially grounded but address a risk management problem of relevance to a typical consumer. The challenge also required that all code for the application be made publicly available on the CAS’s GitHub site.

The Casualty Actuarial Society and Society of Actuaries are excited to bring back the in-person Be An Actuary Day with DePaul University! Share your love of the profession by inspiring the next generation of actuaries. Volunteers are needed to share their stories about why they became an actuary and help high school students learn about the profession during this free, fun, and interactive half-day event!

Four CAS members were recently recognized as distinguished leaders on industry lists published by Business Insurance and Digital Insurance.
