Chronicling civil-service life for California state workers

CalPERS names new chief actuary
State employee news stacked up last week while we focused our efforts on reporting this week's significant labor contract news and wrapped up a story scheduled for tomorrow's Bee about state employee leave. 

So we're just now getting around to other news of state worker interest, like Wednesday's announcement that CalPERS has named Alan Milligan as its new chief actuary. A 10-year CalPERS veteran, Milligan was deputy to recently retired chief actuary Ron Seeling and had been serving as interim chief.

We have the memo circulated to CalPERS' staff earlier this week announcing Milligan's promotion.

SELECTION OF NEW CHIEF ACTUARY


I'm pleased to inform you that CalPERS Board today selected Alan Milligan as our new Chief Actuary.

 

As Chief Actuary, Alan will oversee the CalPERS Actuarial and Employer Services Branch, which includes the Employer Services Division and the Actuarial Office, with a staff of nearly 200. The Chief Actuary also evaluates, develops, and implements actuarial policies and procedures and provides actuarial advice to the CalPERS Board and its Benefits and Program Administration Committee.  He will supervise the work of 15 actuaries and 30 support staff in the CalPERS Actuarial Office, which produces more than 1,500 actuarial valuations each year for approximately 3,000 public employers in California.  The Actuarial Office also provides cost analyses and other actuarial services for CalPERS contracting employers. 

Alan is a seasoned pension fund actuary with more than 20 years of public and private sector experience.  I am confident Alan will do an outstanding job of serving our members and employers.

Alan started his CalPERS career in 2001 as a senior pension actuary.  He was subsequently promoted to supervising pension actuary, managing actuary, and deputy chief actuary.

Prior to joining CalPERS, Milligan was an actuarial associate and consulting actuary for Leong & Associates Actuaries and Consultants, a private pension actuarial firm.  Prior to that, he worked for the Johnson & Higgins Willis Faber actuarial firm. He is also a fellow of the Conference of Consulting Actuaries, a member of the American Academy of Actuaries, a fellow of the Canadian Institute of Actuaries, and a fellow of the Society of Actuaries. 

Please join me in congratulating Alan!

Here are some rules of the road:

• Keep your comments civil. Don't insult one another or the subjects of our articles. If you think a comment violates our guidelines click the "report abuse" button to notify the moderators. Responding to the comment will only encourage bad behavior.

• Don't use profanities, vulgarities or hate speech. This is a general interest news site. Sometimes, there are children present. Don't say anything in a way you wouldn't want your own child to hear.

• Do not attack other users; focus your comments on issues, not individuals.

• Stay on topic. Only post comments relevant to the article at hand. If you want to discuss an issue with a specific user, click on his profile name and send him a direct message.

• Do not copy and paste outside material into the comment box.

• Don't repeat the same comment over and over. We heard you the first time.

• Do not use the commenting system for advertising. That's spam and it isn't allowed.

• Don't use all capital letters. That's akin to yelling and not appreciated by the audience.

You should also know that The Sacramento Bee does not screen comments before they are posted. You are more likely to see inappropriate comments before our staff does, so we ask that you click the "report abuse" button to submit those comments for moderator review.

Remember, comment moderation is subjective. You may find some material objectionable that we won't and vice versa.

Users cannot remove their own comments once they have submitted them, but you may ask our staff to retract one of your comments by sending an email to feedback@sacbee.com. Again, make sure you note the headline on which the comment is made and tell us your profile name.
