Welcome to RIMScast. Your host is Justin Smulison, Business Content Manager at RIMS, the Risk and Insurance Management Society.
Here to discuss the high-profile legislative issues that the RISKPAC is examining in 2022 is Trustee Greg McKenna!
As a Trustee of the only national political action committee representing risk managers nationwide before Congress, Greg takes listeners through what the RIMS Political Action Committee (RISKPAC) is all about, the big issues that RISKPAC is looking at (ahead of the RIMS Legislative Summit on Sept. 20th, 2022), and how RISKPAC is separate from — but works in conjunction with — the RIMS External Affairs Committee.
If you plan on attending the RIMS Legislative Summit in 2022 or want to learn more about what the RISKPAC Committee is all about, be sure to tune in!

“You’ve got a broad spectrum of people across the entire value chain of risk and insurance [in RISKPAC] and there is a place for everybody. These committees are a great way to involve yourself with people like [yourself].” — Greg McKenna
“This Three Corners bill is of interest … to the risk management community [because] it falls to a family of bills that would be about setting a national standard that would help to alleviate individual state action on an important topic, … data privacy.” — Greg McKenna
“[The RIMS Legislative Summit is] an absolutely fantastic way to interact with your colleagues [and] network among folks who are taking interest in these federal issues.” — Greg McKenna
“[The Risk Legislative Summit is] a good way to show your commitment [and] to crystalize the RIMS position on these issues. … People come from all over the industry … but when you get there, you’re representing the interests of risk management … with one voice.” — Greg McKenna
