Welcome to RIMScast. Your host is Justin Smulison, Business Content Manager at RIMS, the Risk and Insurance Management Society.
Today’s podcast episode is one that will surely go down in RIMScast history! New RIMS CEO, Gary LaBranche, is taking the stage and making his debut.
Succeeding the previous longstanding RIMS CEO, Mary Roth, Gary knows he has big shoes to fill and is up for the challenge! In this conversation, Gary speaks about his experiences attending various RIMS events and getting more well-versed in risk management, the strategic changes that he has in mind for RIMS in the short-term and long-term, and his insights around nonprofits and the challenges they face (in light of National Nonprofit Day soon approaching in the U.S. on August 17th, 2022.)
