Greetings MN RIMS Members, Associates and Students:
I hope you had a chance to attend the September meeting; it supported the Chapter’s goal of leveraging National RIMS resources. The subject was available tools for managing international programs which are included in the National RIMS website. MN RIMS members can access the tools and resources at www.rims.org/resources/InternationalCenter
The Seminar Committee, led by Steve Slette, is planning a robust curriculum for the big event on January 29th, 2015. You will soon receive “hold the date” information and registration materials.
The Nominating Committee will soon begin to consider candidates for the board and committees for the Chapter’s 2015/16 fiscal year. We encourage Members and Associates to participate in Committees – it is a great way to deepen your network! We know everyone is busy so to make it easy to volunteer we have hired an administrative support firm; the goal with the securing the service was to relieve the chapter’s members of some tasks so they can focus their energy on strategy and planning. If you are interested in serving please contact me!
The Chapter’s goals:
1. Deliver benefits of value to the diverse MN RIMS members to grow participation and membership.
-- This will be achieved through innovative approaches and ideas, alignment with the mission of MN RIMS, and coordination across committee.
-- Develop a game plan to attract and engage younger members of the MN Risk Management Community
2. Leverage National RIMS’ resources to benefit local members and foster stronger relationship with National RIMS and
3. Implement administrative support to enhance delivery of services to members and support Chapter Board, Officers and Committee Chairs in execution of their duties
4. Develop and execute a communication plan to ensure our Officers, Board and Committees effectively engage with members
5. Revise Chapter by-laws as needed
6. Develop succession plan for Board, Officer, and Committee leadership.
