The American Academy of Actuaries is a 17,000-member professional association whose mission is to serve the public and the U.S. actuarial profession.
Academy members include consultants, corporate executives and staff, regulators, government officials, academicians, and retired actuaries their areas of practice cover pensions, life insurance, property and casualty insurance, health insurance, financial reporting, risk management, and more.
The Academy assists public policymakers on all levels by providing leadership, objective expertise, and actuarial advice on risk and financial security issues. The Academy also sets qualification, practice, and professionalism standards for actuaries credentialed by one or more of the five U.S.-based actuarial organizations.
Recognizing the need for a single, inclusive body that would represent qualified actuaries in the United States across all specialties, the four actuarial organizations that then comprised the U.S. profession—the Casualty Actuarial Society, the Conference of Actuaries in Public Practice, the Fraternal Actuarial Association, and the Society of Actuaries—in 1964 agreed to the creation of the American Academy of Actuaries, which was incorporated in Illinois in 1965. The Academy moved to Washington, D.C., in January 1976.
