NEWS: Register Now! ASNY Annual Meeting, November 9

Registration is now open for the 2009 ASNY Annual Meeting to be held on Monday, November 9th at the Marriott Downtown in New York.

One of our keynote speakers is David Walker, the CEO of the recently formed Peter G. Peterson Foundation. This Foundation, to which Peter G. Peterson has committed $1 billion, is dedicated to increasing public awareness of the nature and urgency of key economic challenges threatening America’s future and accelerating action on them. Before joining the Foundation, David Walker was the head of the U.S. Government Accountability Office where he had been outspoken about the need to address these national financial/economic problems. He respects actuaries and looks forward to partnering with us as we become more involved and visible in these areas.

A dialogue on the much discussed matter of insurance regulation will follow David Walker’s presentation. This topic will be approached from both federal and state perspectives, with notable speakers representing the two points of view. Gary Hughes is an EVP and General Counsel for the American Council of Life Insurers and will speak regarding the future of insurance regulation at the federal level. As the ranking Republican on the Senate Insurance Committee, New York State Senator Jim Seward will speak on insurance regulation from the state level.

This analysis of the future of insurance regulation will be complemented by a session regarding current developments in General Purpose Accounting. Marc Siegel’s current role as a member of the Financial Accounting Standards Board puts him in an ideal position to address such matters. Marc Siegel’s long career, including work leading the Accounting Research and Analysis team at RiskMetrics Group, will undoubtedly enhance his ability to share his expertise.

In addition to the above general sessions, the meeting will also include two breakout sessions, each with a choice of six industry-specific sessions to attend. The life, health, and pension practices will all be represented as presenters address new and ongoing matters demanding the attention of actuaries.

PENSION ACTUARIES: We are excited to announce that there will be pension sessions at this year’s Annual Meeting! The meeting will be a great opportunity for you to learn about the challenges and opportunities the pension industry faces given the current environment. It will also give you a chance to explore and hear more about current topics relevant to all actuaries, such as professionalism, and those more specific to the life and health industries.

We hope to see you at the meeting!
