Yes You Can
Challenges, both in and out of work, confront our ability to be effective and proactive. Yet these challenges are also opportunities. Change is a ‘constant’ in the environment and tests our ability to remain focused on success. It is our choice how we react to challenge and to change.
This session studies our choices and helps develop a healthy attitude and a tool kit to enable us to keep creating success despite change and challenge.

The Future of Actuarial Science
Actuarial science is at the nexus of turbulent but exciting times, filled with threats and opportunities. Our unique approach and skillset are in high demand, and the future could be bright—if we respond appropriately to seize the opportunities and leverage our strengths.

- Challenges to basic and continuing education, including demonstration of skills in a computerized environment;
- Public policy issues: interest rates, aging and pensions, climate change; and
- The marketing and branding of “The Actuary”: what is an actuary, what is unique about us, what new areas can we provide expertise in, etc.
