SOA Staff
The Entrepreneurial Actuaries Section sponsored a Papers Competition this summer on a topic related to being an entrepreneur. This competition was open to all SOA members. We are pleased to include the first and second place award-winning papers in this issue. Enjoy reading the first place (John Melinte) and second place (Luc Berlinguette) papers from the EAS papers competition. Melinte took home $5,000; Berlinquette, $3,500.
In future issues of The Independent Consultant, we will be publishing other submissions received for the papers competition. Please join us in congratulating our authors and meet some of them at the EAS breakfast at the SOA 09 Annual Meeting & Exhibit, Wednesday, October 28, in Boston.
