The Academy's mission is to serve the public and the U.S. actuarial profession. My service on the Board will allow me to:

The current pace of regulatory change in the financial services industry is unprecedented, and the Academy is in a unique position to provide sound, unbiased technical actuarial advice to policymakers, lawmakers, and regulators. I would be honored to serve on the Academy Board and hope that my service would allow me to help the Academy and its volunteers to engage strategically and effectively on the critical issues facing the actuarial profession and the nation. We best serve our members and the public by engaging our membership in a way that allows the Academy to provide deep technical expertise on particular actuarial topics while maintaining a consistent and coordinated message and approach across the various areas of actuarial practice. To this end, I believe it is critical for the Board to engage the Academy membership and encourage active participation by as broad an array of our members as possible. This will enable us to meet the challenges of regulatory change and increasing product complexity and carry out our mission of serving the public and the actuarial profession.
