Continuing Professional Education
Many consulting actuaries attend continuing professional education meetings sponsored or co-sponsored by the Conference. Its three major annual meetings are the Enrolled Actuaries Meeting, co-sponsored with the American Academy of Actuaries; the Employee Benefits Spring Meeting, jointly sponsored with the Society of Actuaries; and the Conference's Annual Meeting.
In addition to those meetings, the CCA also sponsors or co-sponsors a variety of seminars and teleconferences. In contrast to its annual meetings, which offer sessions on variety of subjects, the Conference's seminars and teleconferences generally are limited to a single topic of current interest.

Famous quotes containing the words continuing, professional and/or education:
“Perhaps the best definition of progress would be the continuing efforts of men and women to narrow the gap between the convenience of the powers that be and the unwritten charter.”
—Nadine Gordimer (b. 1923)
“Smoking ... is downright dangerous. Most people who smoke will eventually contract a fatal disease and die. But they don’t brag about it, do they? Most people who ski, play professional football or drive race cars, will not die—at least not in the act—and yet they are the ones with the glamorous images, the expensive equipment and the mythic proportions. Why this should be I cannot say, unless it is simply that the average American does not know a daredevil when he sees one.”
—Fran Lebowitz (b. 1950)
“To read a newspaper is to refrain from reading something worth while. The first discipline of education must therefore be to refuse resolutely to feed the mind with canned chatter.”
—Aleister Crowley (1875–1947)
