Your Los Angeles Chapter of RIMS is off to a great start in 2012. As this is my first message of the year, I would like to thank Kurt Leisure for his dedicated service and terrific leadership in 2010-2011 as president of the LA RIMS chapter. Kurt will now serve as immediate past-president and will assist me as I learn my new role this year. This is going to be a fantastic year of growth, development and refinement with regard to all aspects of the chapter and the services that it provides to its members. Before we discuss these objectives, I would like to draw your attention to the new Mission Statement that our chapter has developed that will guide the strategic and tactical objectives of the chapter in the coming year. It reads as follows:

"Los Angeles RIMS is dedicated to be the preeminent association in risk management focused on attracting the leaders in the industry while fulfilling the needs of its members and affiliates. Through education and development, networking, and community outreach, we aim to promote the principles, and highlight the value of risk management to drive the success of our member organizations."
