“RIMS has been part of the broader community of risk professionals for more than 60 years, and in that time we have seen a tremendous amount of talent and dedication pass through the profession,” said Mary Roth, ARM, RIMS executive director. “It is important to RIMS to recognize those who exhibit this level of commitment to the discipline, and over the years we have done so with various awards to individuals, as well as RIMS chapters. What we aim to do with the Risk Management Hall of Fame is take that a step further and give today’s risk professionals something to strive for.”
