What are ACOPA’s responsibilities?
ACOPA is responsible for identifying and addressing the professional development needs of the actuarial membership of ASPPA, including maintaining the actuaries-only listserve, and offering conferences focused primarily on the needs of actuaries. ACOPA has primary responsibility for the content of comment letters that involve actuarial issues, accomplished through appointing members of the Defined Benefit Subcommittee of the ASPPA Government Affairs Committee, and preparing formal comments, position papers or other relevant pronouncements that involve regulating authorities outside of the Treasury, IRS, DOL, PBGC or SEC (such as FASB).
