Huntington joins ABCD
Feb. 28, 2008—Curtis Huntington has been appointed vice chairperson of the Actuarial Board for Counseling and Discipline, replacing the late Jack Turnquist. Huntington was selected by the Council of U.S. Presidents (CUSP) to complete the remainder of Turnquist’s term. Turnquist, 76, died Feb. 5.
ABCD Chairperson Larry Johansen said Turnquist will be greatly missed. “Although the circumstances are very unfortunate,” he said, “we welcome Curtis as the new vice chairperson, and we look forward to working with him. Our deliberations will benefit from his expertise and participation.”
