RIMS, the risk management society, announced on Tuesday that Nowell R. Seaman will lead the society as its 63rd president for the 2017 term, which became effective Jan. 1.
Seaman, RIMS-CRMP, FCIP, CRM, has been a member of RIMS for 21 years and on its board of directors for nine years, the society said in a press release. He is currently the director of global risk management for Potash Corporation of Saskatchewan Inc.
Previously, Seaman served as RIMS’ vice president. He also served as the chair of the RIMS Canada Council from 2003 to 2005, a director of the RIMS Saskatchewan chapter from 1997 to 2007 and chaired the secretariat responsible for the creation of the William H. McGannon Foundation.
“The narrative is changing,” Seaman said in the release. “More organizations are recognizing the positive side of risk. They are witnessing the power of risk management and its ability to identify new resources, new processes and new strategies that can take the organization to new heights. As president, it is my goal to ensure that the society’s momentum continues forward and that, together, our global network is prepared for whatever may come next.”
