Public affairs photo gallery
Working with the news media is a vital component of the Academy's efforts to contribute to the development of sound public policy. While the Academy offers actuarial expertise on key public policy issues to lawmakers and regulators, news outlets carry the actuarial message to the broader public.
This photo gallery illustrates just a few of the Academy's recent public affairs activities. It also provides a sample of some of the issues on which the profession's voice is being heard — whether in a TV news interview, through congressional testimony, or during a presentation at a meeting of the NAIC.
Testifying to Congress
Patrick Collins, the vice chairperson of the Academy’s Committee on Federal Health Issues, testifies at a congressional hearing in May 2007. Collins’ testimony on medical reinsurance was cited in several news reports, including an article in the Washington Times.
Spreading the word
The Academy's senior pension fellow, Ron Gebhardtsbauer, prepares for a July 2007 meeting with reporters at CNN’s Time Warner Center studio. He and other Academy staff traveled to New York as part of an Academy media relations tour, with the focus on such retirement issues as lifetime income security, longevity risk, and Social Security solvency.
Explaining public policy options
Academy Senior Health Fellow Cori Uccello leads a June 2007 Capitol Hill briefing on the Academy’s new monograph on Medicare reform options. Articles about the briefing appeared in several newspapers, including the Washington Post and the Dallas Morning News. The monograph was mentioned in various publications, including a Cox Newspapers series.
