2006 RIMS Canada Conference grows

Once again the bar measuring the success of the annual RIMS Canada Conference has been raised with a record registration number of 699, secretary of the RIMS Canada Council Bruce Tainsh told the audience at the 2006 RIMS Canada Conference in Calgary.
This success exemplifies the early success of RIMS Canada Council’s (RCC)’s new ten-year strategic plan, which was formed at the councils strategic planning meeting held March 2006.
As a result of the strategic planning process, Tainsh says RCC has developed specific themes representing its short- and long-term goals. The RCC’s stratagem moving forward includes:
* Continuing to work with Canadian Chapters to deliver the RIMS Conference in Canada
* Promoting the risk management discipline and the importance risk managers bring to the organizations they work for. This includes building both university and government relations activities
* Growing the number of professional development educational offerings, programs and services for the benefit of members
* Promoting the awareness of RIMS in Canada and the value of RIMS membership.
