The Chicago Actuarial Association spring workshops meeting offer an outstanding value for actuarial continuing education. You can choose a program of three hour-long presentations from a wide variety of actuarial topics, including health, pensions, life, annuities, financial reporting, and personal development, followed by a reception and dinner where you can network with your peers – all for just $60 plus the cost of commuting to downtown Chicago. This includes the cost of dinner, with $50 being the cost of the workshops if you can't stay for dinner. The tentative dinner menu consists of filet mignon, salmon, or vegetable lasagna.
We welcome and encourage non-actuaries to attend our workshops because information covered is relevant to a wide range of work within the insurance and consulting businesses. Please share this with others who may be interested.
PD & EA Credit is being applied for at the Society of Actuaries for many of these sessions. Further PD & EA submissions and approvals will be posted (see box above) on our website. So mark your calendar for Tuesday, March 14, and plan to spend the afternoon at the Blue Cross Blue Shield building at 300 E. Randolph getting up to date on the hottest topics in your industry, sharpening your skills, catching up with old friends, and making new ones.
