ANyone else get the CAS office weekly bulletin?
in includes a link announcing the first "platinum sponsor" of the CAS. for 15k, the benefits are here: http://www.casact.org/cms/files/Soci...s_Brochure.pdf one time use of CAS mailing list. love to know the mechanics of that. does that mean the CAS broadcasts a message from the sponsor to everyone on the list on behalf of the sponsor? count me as a non-fan of this. |

A $500 value!
They will spend more than $500 in staff time responding to the blizzard of complaints they will get if they ever do send out such an email. |

You don't get the e-mail holiday greetings? Those are pretty spiffy. Come to think of it, that's soemone else. I don't hear from Pryor. Just see ads.

dws gives miney to the cas and actuarial foundation every year. it gets mentioned in some publication (actuarial review) or at the annual meetings. so this sounds like a separate money grab.

For $3,500 Bruce Schobel could make welcome remarks at the Opening Day luncheon. I'll bet the $600,000 is burning a hole in his pocket. He could start with "I'd like to begin by recognizng CAS past presidents who have also served the Academy so admirably...
