Insurance Risk Chapter
The Insurance Risk chapter demonstrates an organizational commitment to managing risk arising from Insurance industry
The Insurance Risk Chapter is the first of its kind to be set up in RIMAS.
The activities of the chapter will be organizing workshops, seminars to promote the concept of Insurance risk management, responsibility, and leadership among our members in the association. Insurance Risk Management, and the benefits thereof, are better understood and many large companies now have personnel who are specially assigned Insurance risk management duties. Some companies in fact have established Insurance risk management divisions in order to provide risk services to their clients.
There is a bright future for risk management practitioners as the benefits of sound Insurance risk management strategies become increasingly recognized throughout the business community.
