Dear Craig,
I would like to thank you, both personally and on behalf of the American Academy of Actuaries, for your recent letter marking the Academy’s 50th anniversary. It was a pleasure to see you at our annual meeting earlier this month. The gift you presented on behalf of the Society of Actuaries is a beautiful token of the history of service to the actuarial profession that our organizations share. We have it on display in the Academy offices. Thank you again for that thoughtful gesture.
As a proud member of the Society of Actuaries, I celebrate the role the Society plays in preserving, transmitting, and expanding the intellectual capital of the actuarial profession. Without that intellectual capital, our discipline would not be a science. It’s a different role than that played by the Academy, but one that is equally vital to the health of the profession. My first contact with the actuarial profession was through the Society exams, and attaining my fellowship in the Society remains one of my most cherished accomplishments.
I look forward to this coming year with great optimism. The Society is in good hands under your leadership. I look forward to working with you for the betterment of the profession.
Sincerely,
Tom Wildsmith
