In order to showcase how CAS members are helping to innovate and disrupt the technology industry, the CAS launched Actuaries in Tech Month.

The campaign highlighted how our members interact with the technology sphere, focusing on personal profiles of members who work at companies ranging from small tech startups to large, established technology companies. The featured interviews with CAS members working in tech on the CAS Roundtable Blog provide additional insight into how members are translating their actuarial skills to the tech world.

CAS Research Paper Series on Race and Insurance Pricing

Communicator Awards, Award of Excellence
EXCEL Awards, Silver
ASAE Power of Associations Awards, Gold Award

In 2020 the CAS recognized a pressing need to use members’ specialized expertise to serve as a leader on the larger issue of potential bias in insurance pricing. To that end, the organization developed a CAS Approach to Race and Insurance Pricing, with activities concentrated in four key areas of education, research, leadership and collaboration.

The goal was to enable the community of subject matter experts to take the lead in engaging with the insurance industry as it addresses issues of potential racial bias over the coming years. As part of this approach, the CAS created a new special Research Paper series to help educate the insurance industry toward quantitative solutions addressing the topic. Each paper in the CAS Research Paper Series on Race and Insurance Pricing deals with a different aspect of the topic from a property and casualty insurance perspective.
