Founded in 1950 as the Conference of Actuaries in Public Practice, today the Conference of Consulting Actuaries has over 1,200 members in the United States and Canada providing services in the life, health, casualty and pension fields. The Conference's mission is to advance the practice of actuarial consulting by serving the professional needs of consulting actuaries and by promoting member's views within the profession. The roots of the Conference of Consulting Actuaries can be traced to the fall of 1949, when six consulting actuaries met for lunch in Chicago to discuss the need for an organization to set standards and exchange information among consulting actuaries. In January 1950, five of these actuaries and two others, obtained a certificate of incorporation (dated December 1, 1949) for the Conference of Actuaries in Public Practice (CAPP) and established the Conference's Bylaws. Later, the Guides to Professional Conduct and Interpretive Opinions were added. The Conference held its first membership meeting at the Edgewater Beach Hotel in Chicago on October 3, 1950. Thirty-five Conference members attended. Today, membership in the Conference surpasses 1,100. In October of 1991, the membership of the Conference voted to change its name to the Conference of Consulting Actuaries (Conference). This inserts into the title of the organization the word that best describes what Conference members provide: Consulting.
