EVENT: January 2014 Meeting
TOPIC: Observations on the Illinois Pension Crisis: The house is on fire! Should an actuary calculate how long it takes for it to burn down or call the Fire Department?
What is the role of Actuaries in the Illinois Pension Debate? Public employee pensions are the current hot topic in Illinois. Come to this meeting to understand to what degree Actuaries have been informing the debate, could be informing the debate, are required under ASOPs to inform the debate, and how the ASOPs and Actuarial discipline process might be changed to require actuaries to better inform the debate.
Attendance to this event will count for 1.2 Professionalism credits as required by the American Academy of Actuaries’ U.S. Qualification Standards.
NOTE: The opinions expressed will be those of the speakers and not their affiliated organizations.
