The November NJ RIMS session, focusing on Cyber Risk & Insurance, featured a distinguished expert panel comprised of Matt Kuhn (Ascot Group), Fred Giordano (K&L Gates), and Navarone Dozier, (Aon). The panel engaged in a comprehensive discussion on the evolution of Cyber insurance. They also examined the current risk landscape, recent litigation, and regulatory trends. The audience benefited from perspectives from the underwriting, brokerage, and legal sectors.

But wait, there’s more! Our food drive to benefit the Interfaith Food Pantry Network collected over 200 pounds of food and $215 in cash donations. The NJ RIMS Board (bottom photo) thanks everyone who participated for your generous donations.

Thank you to our terrific sponsors for your support, and to our golf committee and awesome volunteers who worked tirelessly to make our annual Charity Golf / Pickleball event a resounding success! Pictures from the event are posted under the Meetings & Events tab.
