The New Jersey RIMS Chapter has made a three-year commitment totaling $30,000 to the Insurance Industry Charitable Foundation (IICF). 

For more than thirty years, the IICF has been uniting the collective strength of the insurance industry in providing grants, volunteer service, and leadership in the communities where we live and work.

NJ RIMS is proud to be partnering with such a worthwhile organization.  Learn more about the IICF at www.iicf.org     

As part of our mission to support growth for the insurance and risk management professional through education, we are looking for New Jersey colleges and universities interested in implementing or expanding risk management and insurance education through a course development grant.  

Please share the details with your NJ alma mater!

A huge thank you to Matt Smyth and Andrew Miller, MBA of International SOS, and to Frank Scalia of Everest for your informative presentation and engaging workshop on Travel Risk Management and the duty of care required of employers. You gave us a lot to think about, starting with one very fundamental question . . . Do you know where your people are?

On March 19-20 NJ RIMS Board Member and Advocacy Ambassador Justin Colletti  participated in the RIMS Legislative Summit in Washington, DC.  While there, he met with staffers and policy advisors to NJ Senators Booker and Kim, and NJ Representatives Pallone, Conaway, and Sherrill to express our position on issues of concern to the risk management community.

January 23, 2025 - The RIMS New Jersey chapter is proud to announce that we have doubled our commitment to Kids’ Chance of New Jersey with the awarding of a second four-year $5,000 Diamond Sponsorship.  Kids’ Chance of New Jersey is a non-profit organization that provides higher education scholarships to the children of catastrophically or fatally injured workers, to help them fulfill their educational goals despite the loss of a parent’s income.
