SAVE THE DATE: SPRING 2013 IOWA ACTUARIAL EDUCATIONAL EVENT
March 11-12
Olmsted Center, Drake University
The Drake University Actuarial Science Program and the Iowa Actuaries Club (IAC) invite you to a two-day actuarial educational event. The first day will consist of a roundtable discussion, sponsored by Drake Actuarial Program, PwC, Principal, EMC and Aviva, titled "Are they Addressing the Right Problem?" It will examine whether corporations/business organizations are focusing on the "right" issues from risk management and regulatory (e.g., Dodd-Frank bill) perspectives. Risk managers are putting into place risk management measures to curtail the problems, but are these measure working? Are they really addressing the "right" problems? The same question can be asked of the regulatory measures. The second day of the event features a number of concurrent sessions sponsored by the IAC. It will feature a number of exciting topics and speakers. For more information please contact Dr. Rahul Parsa at rahul.parsa@drake.edu.
