The Casualty Actuarial Society (CAS) reached the 10,000-member milestone this year with its newest class of Fellows and Associates, with membership consisting of 6,676 Fellows, 3,340 Associates, and 33 Affiliate members, for a total of 10,049 active members. Through its rigorous examination process, extensive professional education offerings and pioneering research, the CAS has been setting the standard of expertise, credibility, and professional integrity for the property/casualty (P&C) actuarial profession for over 100 years.
Members of the CAS continue to be sought after globally for their insights and ability to apply analytics to solve insurance and risk management problems; CAS actuaries are helping companies harness new data, take advantage of innovative methodologies and leverage advances in technology, including artificial intelligence. Demand for actuarial expertise is also evident through the organization’s 5.7% average annual membership growth over the past decade.
“Reaching the milestone of 10,000 members is a profound moment for our organization, and it symbolizes the remarkable impact that actuaries have on society,” said CAS President Roosevelt Mosley, FCAS, CSPA. “The CAS was formed to help usher in a new era of addressing societal risks, and more than 100 years later, we remain as relevant as ever. I am inspired by the future of the organization and the knowledge that CAS members’ work has contributed to the betterment of our society.”
This milestone represents the transformations the organization has undertaken to meet the demands of an industry that is constantly changing, according to Victor Carter-Bey, CAS CEO.
“We provide our members with cutting-edge knowledge and a platform for continuous growth, while always staying true to our mission of excellence in P&C education, research and credentialing,” said Carter-Bey. “As we grow from 10,000 members and beyond, we will continue innovating and adapting to provide our members with the skills, resources and opportunities they need to solve pressing risk management problems.”
The CAS plans to formally recognize its 10,000-member milestone at the CAS Annual Meeting, taking place on November 5-8, 2023, in Los Angeles.
In the meantime, the organization will be sharing relevant content on its social platforms with the hashtag #CAS10K.
