How much of the CE is required to be an organized activity?

Only 6 CE credits per year must be from "organized activities" that involve interaction with actuaries or other professionals working for different organizations. The remainder of the CE may be from "other activities."

Detailed examples of "organized activities" and "other activities" are included in the Qualification Standards. For instance, "organized activities" can include (but are not limited to) "conferences, seminars, webcasts, in-person or online courses, or committee work that is directly relevant to the area of practice of the subject of the SAO." In-house meetings with outside speakers would be an organized activity.

"Other activities" can include reading actuarial literature, writing professional articles (including researched articles for Contingencies), listening to tapes of actuarial meetings, relevant in-house meetings, study for actuarial exams, or preparing to speak or lead a discussion at a CE activity.
