Actuarial Review - August 2003

Volume 30, No. 3 / August 2003

From the President Our Volunteer Spirit by Gail M. Ross In recent years, during the business session of our Spring and Annual Meetings, we've started a tradition in which the president asks everyone who has volunteered for the CAS in the past year to rise and be recognized. As a meeting attendee, I was always amazed and impressed when I would look around and see how many of my peers had also volunteered their time by serving on committees, writing papers, or speaking at seminars. This past May, I had the chance to repeat this tradition during my first meeting as president of the CAS. As I stood at the podium in Marco Island, I remember feeling great pride as I looked out at nearly a third of the audience standing to be recognized as volunteers. *Full Story...* Features In My Opinion Quarterly Review Random Sampler Latest Research From The Readers Actuaries Abroad Ethical Issues Forum CAS Continuing Education Calendar Nonactuarial Pursuits of Casualty Actuaries Brainstorms It's a Puzzlement Click Here to view past issues.
