Welcome to RIMScast. Your host is Justin Smulison, Business Content Manager at RIMS, the Risk and Insurance Management Society.

 

Today’s guest is Betty Clarke, the Manager of Corporate Risk and Recovery for the City of St. John’s! In December of 2020, ORIMS honored and acknowledged her with the Donald M. Stuart Award, which is widely recognized as Canada’s highest honor within the risk management field. Since 1979, the award has celebrated Canadians who have made outstanding contributions to the profession.

She also speaks about the unique challenges she and the City of St. John’s have faced in 2020, how they are facing said challenges, how she is helping build a more “risk aware” culture within the City of St. John’s, and much more.
