CAS research committees have oversight responsibility for the various CAS research prizes, including those chosen as part of call paper programs. Certain prizes, such as the Hachemeister Prize and Michelbacher Significant Achievement Award, have a committee solely devoted to picking prizewinners. But, for call paper programs, a prize committee with a separate prize committee chairperson should be selected to coordinate each prize paper selection.
CAS Monograph No. 3 : Stochastic Loss Reserving Using Generalized Linear Models
by Greg Taylor and Gráinne McGuire
In an effort to cultivate a more diverse profession and membership for their organizations, The Casualty Actuarial Society (CAS) and the Society of Actuaries (SOA), through their Joint Committee for Inclusion, Equity and Diversity (JCIED) have made a commitment to significantly increase their funding and support of the International Association of Black Actuaries (IABA) for the next three years (2019-2021).
1. What are Working Papers?Working Papers are papers that reflect an idea or concept that is still being developed and for which the author is inviting discussion. As such, a Working Paper might be considered a work in progress.
The Casualty Actuarial Society (CAS) joined over 650 actuarial science students and 41 sponsors at the ANÉA-ASNA 2020 Convention January 14-16, 2020 in Niagara Falls, Ontario, hosted by Canada's Actuarial Students' National Association. As a Diamond Conference Sponsor, the CAS had an active presence at the three-day event. The CAS interacted with students at the career fair, participated on a professional panel, presented an educational session, hosted the Saturday luncheon, and sat on a case competition judging panel.

CAS Monograph No. 1: Stochastic Loss Reserving Using Bayesian MCMC Models
In this monograph, author Glenn Meyers, FCAS, MAAA, CERA, introduces a novel way of testing the predictive power of two loss reserving methodologies. Using a database created by the CAS that consists of hundreds of loss development triangles with outcomes, the volume begins by first testing the performance of the Mack model on incurred data and the Bootstrap Overdispersed Poisson model on paid data.

Woodward-Fondiller PrizeThis award, commemorating the work of Joseph H. Woodward and Richard Fondiller, was intended to stimulate original thinking and research. Each year it was awarded to the best eligible paper submitted to the Proceedings of the Casualty Actuarial Society by an Associate or Fellow who had attained his or her designation within the last five years of submitting his or her paper. An eligible Proceedings paper showed evidence of original research and solved advanced insurance problems. If no paper was considered eligible in a given year, the award was not made.
The CAS provides continuing education through live events and online content to actuaries and other professionals interested in property, casualty, and similar risk exposures. CAS works to create programs to enhance an actuary’s skills and knowledge and help experienced professionals keep up to date on advances in the field.

CAS Monograph No. 5: Generalized Linear Models for Insurance Rating, 2nd Edition
by Mark Goldburd, Anand Khare, Dan Tevet, and Dmitriy Guller
Publicizing the results of research projects is an important part of the job of the research committees and working parties.
Once research is completed, it is of little use to actuaries until it is adopted in their daily jobs. As a result, CAS research committees also work to make research accessible to the membership. Some of the techniques that have been employed include:
All CAS exams administered in fall 2020 will be delivered via computer-based testing (CBT). While we previously announced that the CAS’s multiple-choice exams, MAS-I and MAS-II, would be the only exams transitioning to CBT in the fall, uncertainties about the effects of the novel coronavirus on the fall exam sitting necessitate also shifting CAS Exams 5-9 to CBT at this time.
