The CAS Publications Department is working hard to constantly improve Actuarial Review, offering well-researched articles in each issue that are important to you, our readers. We are always looking for content about research, hot topics and trends for the industry, technical analysis, leaders/members and their professional/personal stories, member and organizational accomplishments, volunteerism, working group activities, CAS event coverage and more. And you can be a part of it all!
Under the leadership of AR Editor in Chief Jim Weiss, we have recently established an AR Writing Subgroup in the Actuarial Review Working Group. The purpose of this group is to establish a pool of authors who are willing to write stories for AR. These stories can be written individually or in a group collaboration. We have recently decided to open membership to the AR Writing Subgroup to the wider CAS membership and invite you to join us in our pursuit to publish the best possible version of AR. Email AR@casact.org and let us know if you’re interested.
AR Writing Subgroup members volunteer for a variety of reasons—the joy of writing, in many cases. Others join us to enhance their writing skills. Actuaries who refine their writing skills can effectively communicate complex findings and recommendations to diverse audiences, thus enhancing their professional impact. Contributing to a technical magazine allows them to distill intricate concepts into accessible content, honing clarity and precision in their expression. This practice fosters the ability to articulate insights cogently, which is vital for client presentations, reports and team collaborations. Moreover, writing can elevate your visibility within the industry, positioning you as a thought leader and fostering networking opportunities. Strengthening writing proficiency equips actuaries with a versatile toolset, indispensable for navigating the intricate P&C landscape.
We hope you enjoy this edition!
