Life Products Committee
The Life Products Committee proactively provides actuarial support, advice, and communications on life and annuity products. The committee focuses on product features and their design, and may coordinate with other committees on financial and solvency issues. The committee communicates with, and provides information to, the membership of the Academy when there are actuarial developments of interest to the membership that warrant additional communications. The committee also stands ready to respond to regulatory requests on product issues, and proactively seeks areas where the Academy should provide input to regulators. The committee engages in the development of public policy at the state, federal, and international levels.
