Thomas Campbell is the new leader of a group that helps U.S. policymakers do the math.
Taking over as the 2020-2021 president of the American Academy of Actuaries (AAA) last week, Campbell is a senior consulting actuary at Actuarial Resources Corp. in Farmington, Connecticut. He succeeds Joeff Williams, a consulting actuary with Actuarial Management Resources in Winston-Salem, North Carolina.
The 19,500 members of the 55-year-old AAA work with Congress, federal agencies and state governments to create and understand the statistics behind pension plans, other types of retirement arrangements, commercial health insurance, Social Security and Medicare.
