Welcome to RIMScast. Your host is Justin Smulison, Business Content Manager at RIMS, the Risk and Insurance Management Society.
The Spencer Educational Foundation has launched its 2nd annual comprehensive fundraising campaign, “Funding Their Future Campaign.” This campaign, which aims to raise $1 million, is being held in lieu of Spencer’s Annual Gala; one of the industry’s most successful fundraisers. Through September 15th, 2021, Spencer will recognize longtime industry supporters and those who helped pave the way for Spencer’s success, highlight the growth Spencer has achieved since its founding in 1979, and celebrate the diverse and talented students who have benefited from Spencer’s programming and are starting careers in risk management and insurance.
During this year’s campaign, Spencer will be honoring RIMS CEO, Mary Roth, and Peter Garvey of EPIC Insurance Brokers and Consultants. And lucky for RIMScast listeners, Justin Smulison just so happens to have a direct line of communication to Mary Roth!
In today’s episode, Mary shares about all of the wonderful things that Spencer Ed is doing, her 35-year career with RIMS, how she has seen the risk management space evolve over these years, how RIMS has adapted during the pandemic, and how she sees the Spencer Ed Foundation continuing to advance the future of risk management.
