The Expert Witness Community is comprised of actuaries who perform or are interested in Expert Witness (EW) work.

Topics of discussion will be member driven, but may include: differences between EW opinions and actuarial analysis reports; EW trends and opportunities; resolving potential conflicts of interest; testimony preparation, presentation and pitfalls; and maintaining attorney-client privilege.
The Healthcare Community promotes sound actuarial considerations for healthcare, including reform, at the national and state level, and provides an open forum for the exchange of ideas among actuaries concerned about healthcare issues. The highly regarded healthcare track at the CCA’s Annual Meeting is derived in part from the Community's assessments. The CCA Health Meeting brings carrier and consulting actuaries together with regulators and policy makers. Join the CCA and get involved with the Healthcare Community. Don't let the changes pass you by in this extremely dynamic practice area.
