History
The CCA was founded in 1950 as the Conference of Actuaries in Public Practice by seven actuaries who felt the need for a professional association to set standards and share information among consulting actuaries. At the time, the major American actuarial organizations — the Society of Actuaries and the Casualty Actuarial Society — were dominated by actuaries who worked for insurance companies.
In October 1991, the Conference changed its name to the Conference of Consulting Actuaries.
