COPA maintains a list serve on which members can ask questions of other members, respond to questions others have asked, and comment on current developments in the pension actuarial and related fields. Within reason, there are no restrictions on issues members can raise on the list-serve.
Participants on the list-serve can attach documents to their messages such as articles and papers of note.
Participants on the list-serve universally agree that it is an excellent research device, complementing effectively the benefits of a fee-based research service. Participants have been very generous with their time in helping each other solve specific professional problems.
COPA dues cover the complete cost of the list-serve. There is no additional fee.
Participation on the list-serve is available only to COPA members whose dues are up to date.
