The American Academy of Actuaries has presented the 2011 Robert J. Myers Award for Public Service to Mary Downey Miller, assistant director of the product regulation and actuarial services division at the Ohio Department of Insurance.
Miller was selected in recognition of her extraordinary contributions to the public good through her 16 years of service as a property and casualty actuary with the Ohio Department of Insurance.
In addition to her work at the insurance department, Miller serves at the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC), where she is the vice chairperson of the NAIC’s Casualty Actuarial and Statistical Task Force. She also is a member of the NAIC Health Actuarial Task Force, the Principle-Based Reserves Committee and Corporate Governance Subgroup. She represents Ohio on several other working groups.
Miller also has served the public interest through various volunteer positions at the American Academy of Actuaries, where she currently serves on its board of directors as a regular director. She was the vice president of the Academy’s Casualty Practice Council from 2004 to 2006 and was the co-chairperson of the Financial Soundness and Risk Management Committee from 2002 to 2005.
The annual award is named for Robert J. Myers, who helped structure and fund the nation’s largest social insurance program in history during his tenure as the chief actuary of the Social Security Administration from 1947 to 1970. The award was established in 1994 to honor Myer’s lifelong commitment to public service. The award is bestowed upon an actuary who has distinguished himself or herself through many years of service in the public sector.
