Starting January 2026, the requirements for new Academy members will be updated. This includes education requirements and three years of responsible actuarial experience, including at least one year of responsible U.S. actuarial experience. 

The Academy released a new issue brief highlighting the current state of long-term care insurance, focusing specifically on policy design, the management of legacy blocks of business, and policyholder engagement. It also considers potential areas for continued uncertainty in the industry. 

The 2024 edition of The Record—the annual report to Academy membership and the public—recaps last year's strategic initiatives, our progress advancing professionalism and policy activities, and efforts to enhance member value with new benefits, along with the work of volunteers and staff in fulfilling the Academy's mission to serve the public and the U.S. actuarial profession. 

Registration is open for “Insuring the Future,” the Academy's new Insurance Investment Summit coming to New York City in May.
