Actuaries Manage Risk. Consultants Create Trust. You Do BOTH!

Join CCA Today

 

Actuaries Manage Risk. Consultants Create Trust. You do BOTH!

 

As a trusted source of information and guidance, you provide expert advice and professional counsel to your stakeholders - internal or external - making you a consultant regardless of whether it is in your job title. Being a consultant is more than new business development, billing by the hour, having a portfolio of clients and doing project work! 

If you are answering questions, making recommendations and solving problems, the Conference of Consulting Actuaries is a community in which you belong!

Membership Classes

The CCA has two membership categories: Fellows and Associates. Please review the following eligibility requirements to determine which category best applies to you. All members who use the CCA designation are required to satisfy the annual Continuing Education Requirement.

Newly Credentialed Actuaries Offer: 50% Off Dues

Newly credentialed actuaries who have earned their SOA, CAS or EA credential within the last 12 months are eligible to receive 50% dues for the first three years of membership. And, you receive the same great benefits as other CCA members. (offer for first-time members only)

 

Retired Members

If you are retired and will not meet the continuing education requirements you qualify for 50% dues special waiver and you may still use your current CCA designation with the addition of "-R" (FCA-R or ACA-R).
