The American Academy of Actuaries says Bruce Schobel is no longer its president-elect.

John Parks, president of the AAA, Washington, has asked the group’s nominating committee to fill the vacancy, the group says.

Schobel was named president-elect of the AAA in October 2008.

The AAA is giving no further information about the president-elect vacancy. Schobel says he is not yet able to comment on the change.

Well Cecil already warned Bruce that he wasn't allowed to have an opinion on FEM.

Since there was nothing forthcoming yesterday, let's speculate. It was suggested to Bruce that his postings on the board (and other behaviors not known to us) reflected "adversely on the actuarial profession" and that he needed to stop. When he didn't, he was invited to be counseled by the ABCD. When that didn't work he was offerred the choice of resigning as president-elect or face discipline. He chose the former. Any other conspiracy theories out there?

Nice try. But no cigar. This began in late Spring when 19 former AAA presidents petitioned the AAA board.

Dear Wag, the Dog,

When is late spring? Do you think Bruce's opposition of Canada FEM was secret until August 2nd?

If this thread had a better title, there would be more posts in here speculating. Hell - I only came into this thread now because I was bored. Didn't realize Bruce was removed (or resigned?) from AAA President-Elect position.

???

Seriously? What would drive this?

Wag knows what he knows.

The XPresidents were active beginning in June. On August 5 the AAA board voted to remove Bruce from PE. I am not sure if I can tell you the vote count because I got in trouble before.

I have asked the mods to repost my posts. They were timely and truthful. Now the will merely be truthful.

I guess the old truism has something to it: the less important the organization, the more violent its politics can be.

Why someone would voluntarily get involved is beyond me. Given no one in my company is involved in the AAA, SOA, etc., I'm not the only one.

Where in the by-laws http://www.actuary.org/yearbook/2009/bylaws.pdf does it allow the board to remove the president-elect from office? I see where they have the right to select the president-elect but there's nothing about removing the president-elect.
