Council of U.S. Presidents (CUSP)

The Council of U.S. Presidents (CUSP) is an Academy Board of Directors committee established in January 2007. It is composed of the Academy’s president and president-elect, plus the presidents and presidents-elect of ASPPA, the CAS, the CCA, and the SOA (the Academy's special directors).

CUSP's purpose is twofold:

— As a Board committee, CUSP is assigned responsibility for certain Board functions appropriate for profession-wide supervision, such as management of the ASB and ABCD, and

— CUSP serves as a vehicle where actuarial leaders can discuss issues of importance to the entire U.S. actuarial profession, such as international strategies.
