RISKPAC Fundraising Reception
Each year at RISKWORLD, RISKPAC holds an annual fundraising reception to highlight the Society’s legislative priorities, successful programs, key political contributions, as well as updates about RIMS future legislative endeavors. All RISKPAC contributors who are registered for RISKWORLD are welcomed to join a distinguished group of risk leaders that include RIMS Global Board Directors, former RIMS Presidents, members from RIMS Public Policy Committee, chapter leaders, committee and council volunteers and others whose generosity continues to empower RISKPAC’s ability to heighten awareness about RIMS legislative priorities.
Over the last 10+ years, RIMS members have contributed to RISKPAC to support political candidates who understand and appreciate risk professionals’ concerns. By establishing close relationships with policymakers who share RIMS policy views, each year RISKPAC helps the RIMS Public Policy Committee advance the Society’s legislative priorities.
RISKPAC encourages all U.S. RIMS members to get involved.
