RIMS recognizes B.C. risk manager Lance Kayfish

Lance Kayfish, risk manager at the City of Kelowna, British Columbia, received the Richard W. Bland Memorial Award at the Risk and Insurance Management Society (RIMS)’s 2010 Annual Conference & Exhibition in Boston.
The award was created by RIMS Kansas City Chapter in 1974 to recognize a member’s dedicated commitment in the area of legislation or regulation.
Kayfish has a background in post-secondary education management. He has worked as a risk manager with the City of Kelowna since 2003; before that, he worked with the University of Calgary as manager of safety services. 
Also, RIMS handed out ‘Super Star’ recognition to the Canadian RIMS chapters of Saskatchewan and Newfoundland & Labrador, each of which increased their membership by 9% last year.
