  • Planning for Your Visit
    Washington, D.C. Planning for Your Visit Dear IAA Council and Committee Meeting Attendee, On behalf of the American Academy of Actuaries and the U.S. actuarial profession, I extend a warm welcome to you to our nation’s capital and a thank-you for your dedication and your efforts during this important week of IAA meetings. Springtime is considered by many to be the most delightful season in Washington, with many sunshine-bathed days and pleasantly cool evenings that invite visitors to stroll, wander, and enjoy the city’s many sights and sounds. This brochure is intended to help you spend whatever free time you may have to enjoy the city during your stay. The city is of course best known as the seat of the U.S. national government. Indeed, in 1791 Major Pierre L’Enfant specifically laid out for President Washington an urban design supporting the vision of a federal district. From its beginning, the District of Columbia has been defined with a special nature and stature that is reflected in accessible monuments, federal buildings, and fascinating national and private museums—highlights of many are noted in the following pages. But it offers even more, including delightful natural beauty and scenes and the cosmopolitan delights that serve the millions of people who live in the region. Whether you’re looking to learn more about the intriguing backstories of this city’s and our nation’s history, or to simply enjoy the taste of our varied award-winning culinary scene, this guide will provide you with good places to start your wanderings.
