Why Volunteer?
There are many reasons why people like you volunteer:
- Expanding your abilities
- Building a network
- Influencing the course of the profession
- And let’s not forget the sheer enjoyment of it
We're certain that one or more of these is a reason you will want to volunteer.
The "Above & Beyond Achievement Award" is an award where a member can nominate someone whom they feel has made great contributions to the CAS.
How to Volunteer
- Complete the Participation Survey in July each year.
- Become a University Liaison
Here's what other volunteers have to say:
"I left my job 6 years ago when I brought home my first child. I knew I would someday return to the workforce, so volunteering for the CAS seemed a perfect way to stay in touch with actuaries and the actuarial profession during my leave."
- Cathi Neufeld, FCAS 1999, Actuary on Leave
"I had a few traditional CAS volunteering endeavors which did not provide me with as much satisfaction as desired, but I persevered. My volunteering began to pay off when I was contacted to serve on a special task force. The opportunity to work on a high profile project with 12 well-known actuaries and a short time frame to produce a white paper for the NAIC was inspiring. This led directly to volunteer opportunities writing a white paper on Insurance Industry Catastrophe Management and later to serve as chairman of a committee."
- William Dove, FCAS 1993, Company Actuary
"I encourage all "lifetime" Associates to get more involved - you might find something that interests you."
- Mary Jo Kannon, ACAS 1998, Company Actuary
"I strongly encourage anyone who hasn't tried volunteering to give it a shot. What may start out as a resume building opportunity for some, like me, may end up being one of the best experiences of a lifetime - where knowledge, relationships, and lifetime friendships are developed."
- Kevin Bingham, ACAS 1998, Consulting Actuary
