January 2026 Classic Edition - Race, Precept 1 & Professional Integrity

In honor of Martin Luther King Jr. Day, this episode of the Research Insights Podcast invites listeners to reflect on equity, ethics, and professional responsibility. The episode revisits the compelling discussion titled "Race, Precept 1 & Professional Integrity: The Tale of Frederick L. Hoffman," which explores the historical context and actuarial implications of biased data and unethical practices. Through a thoughtful conversation, this episode challenges actuaries and professionals alike to examine the impact of historical bias in data, the role of Precept 1 of the Code of Professional Conduct, and how integrity must underpin actuarial work. As we commemorate Dr. King's legacy, we encourage listeners to think deeply about fairness, justice, and the responsibilities that come with professional designation. Listen now and join the ongoing dialogue on ethics and equity in the actuarial profession.
