Description: 
The number of large defined benefit plans in the U.S. has fallen by over 70 percent since their heyday in the early 1980s. What’s a pension actuary to do in a world with a shrinking client base? How about retiree medical valuation work? There are well over 100,000 public sector agencies in the U.S., and most of them have retiree medical benefits to value -- plenty for all of us! It doesn’t take a complete reinvention of yourself, just an understanding of how to apply the skills you already have in a slightly different way.

Key Takeaways:
1. Discover how to bring your valuation skills to bear on an underserviced marketplace
2. Share experiences with peers who have dipped their toes into retiree medical work
3. Hear about recent developments in the retiree medical world, and the new opportunities they present
