The Code of Professional Conduct is worthwhile revisiting on a regular basis. In this popular repeat session, we will take you through the Code precept by precept, with new scenarios and polling of the audience. Behaving “professionally” is not always a black-and-white exercise – we operate in many gray areas, so it’s good to discuss in a group how these precepts apply in realistic situations. Our new scenarios will include many that may occur in day-to-day work activities. Reviewing/discussing common scenarios can help members understand how precepts apply in certain cases.

The topic will cover how vehicle has evolved and will evolve including the data generated, captured and transmitted by advanced vehicles. Insurers need to better understand what they insurer and how to manage these evolving risks. Attendees will will be able to witness an accident where advanced technology was in use and what the data and video of the event reflected and how that compared to what the human beings reported about the event.
Provide a refresh of the Summer 2022 presentation including M&A transactions in the industry, the typical lines of business involved, and structure types employed.

I have always known my brain worked differently than most people’s. I did well managing my quirks throughout childhood and in college due to coping skills — some healthy and some not as healthy — and what I now know was masking. Masking is presenting yourself in a way that seems like you aren’t dealing with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) behaviors in order to fit in. It’s often unintentional. Several people in my family used similar skills to navigate life, so it didn’t seem unusual to any of us.
I was fortunate enough to sit down with Roosevelt Mosley, the current CAS president, this month and ask him a few questions about his career path and goals as CAS president.

On December 9, the CAS hosted a day-long virtual summit, covering a wide variety of topics impacting actuaries practicing in China. The event proved to be of considerable interest, drawing participants from across the insurance industry in China and abroad, including members, candidates, academics and other insurance professionals. While China is the largest concentration of CAS members outside of North America, this is the first time the society has hosted an event primarily in Mandarin, tailored for a Chinese audience.
That’s a wrap on our first year under our new name, Candidate Advocate Working Group! In November of 2021, the Candidate Liaison Committee (CLC) became the Candidate Advocate Working Group (CAWG) and officially moved under the Marketing and Communications umbrella of the CAS. The CLC had been previously under Admissions as exams have always been top of mind for candidates. While we have kept our strong ties to Admissions, this transition has brought in new opportunities to better connect and network with candidates.
