“RIMS has helped me be better at my job by providing conferences, forums and resources that have spurred my professional development. However, the single most powerful thing RIMS has given me is connections to other risk managers. Having a network of risk management professionals I can call on for advice has benefited my employer more times than I can count.”
—Lance Kayfish, Risk Manager, City of Kelowna, British Columbia

Local Chapter Meetings
Chapters are the building blocks of RIMS. They are the closest point of contact between RIMS members and the Society. The eighty RIMS Chapters are located throughout the US (68), Canada (10), Mexico (1) and Japan (1). Led by Risk Management professionals, these volunteers donate many hours to provide local programs and events. Being a chapter officer allows a member to extract the maximum benefit from the Society while making real contributions to the profession.
Quality Program
RIMS Quality Program includes the newly developed Professional Growth Model, which is designed to guide and facilitate improvement by breaking down skills risk managers need at all stages of their career. Another offer of the program is Quality Guidelines—the goal with this is to increase customer service standards when dealing with service providers for Performance Expectations. Risk managers and their industry partners can use these guidelines to improve communications, develop performance expectations agreements and evaluate the performance under those agreements.
