s president of RIMS 2014, I have been fortunate to travel extensively representing the society. I spoke at RIMS’ conferences in Japan, Colorado, Florida, Canada and Australia, as well as other risk management events in Vermont and Bermuda.
One thing I found that risk professionals have in common is the value we bring to our organizations, our business partners and most importantly to our customers, patients and members.
We often talk about emerging risks. While we’re busy tending to the risks
that impact our organizations now, there is always that fear that we are not doing enough to prepare for those issues that have yet to manifest themselves.

role within their organizations. And, senior leadership is expecting a lot more from their risk managers. It’s no longer enough for us just to steer our organizations through those daily, recurring risks.
The great news is that with resources from RIMS, ASHRM and other risk management organizations, risk professionals are better prepared to identify those uncertainties and help their organizations leverage them into valuable opportunities. Risk professionals have helped organizations turn an important corner that now has them thinking about risk in a whole new light.
I tell young risk professionals and college students that risk management is the best career ever in terms of working with professionals at all levels of the organization, from all departments on projects that have a direct impact on the organization’s ability to achieve its strategic goals. No two days are the same. This profession will keep you on your toes. It is very challenging, super-exciting and a whole lot of fun.
for recent graduates, many university risk management job placement programs have a nearly 90 percent success rate—proving, once again, the professionals, it’s our responsibility to highlight these opportunities and mentor the next generation of risk management leaders to ensure this profession continues to thrive.
Enjoy your relationship with ASHRM. Take advantage of its educational programming, ask questions, participate in discussions and, most importantly, make new connections. I wish you all much continued success.
