President's
Message |
|
 |
As this year comes to a close, I want to
highlight two strategic initiatives and two objectives I focused
on this past year. When I was sworn in as President, I picked
two of these initiatives from our Mission Statement which you
can find on the LA RIMS web site
http://losangeles.rims.org. |

Dennis
Healy
President
L.A. RIMS Chapter
|
-
Create a
highly effective interactive communication system to elicit,
understand and respond to member and Chapter needs.
Web Site improvements including a letter from National CIO Andy
Steggles.
To use his quote, our new Chapter web site layout is
the “best Chapter web presence I’ve
had the pleasure of viewing.” The
LA Chapter web site has an average 400 hits per day. This is the
future way of communication between the Chapter and its members.
-
To foster education programs for risk management.
Our
Education Day Conference this year provided CEU’s for attendees
for the first time. Scott Ritto and Todd Marumoto did a great
job with the content.
Your Chapter approved a new $500.00 scholarship program for
children of LA RIMS Members this year. There will be more to
follow on this new program in the coming months.
In
addition to our Mission Statement and goals, the following
objectives were focused on in order to improve our Chapter.
Program and Speakers - To Name a Few
Pat Ryan
from AON
Steve
Wilder from Disney on when disaster strikes and Steve was also
a
keynote speaker at the National Conference in Philadelphia
were highlights this year. Our lunch programs have seen
record attendance this year due to efforts to bring our
members top quality speakers.
Changed our administrative service provider
We are
looking for ways to continue to provide our members with
information and at the same time reduce cost. This has been
a bumpy road but I am confident that it will get better with
time. The biggest improvement so far as it relates to the
luncheons, is our ability to process credit cards at the
registration desk.
Job Placement
Our job
placement program has an average of 15
employment opportunities per month on the web page. This has
proven a significant free benefit to our members who are
looking for opportunities.
Thank you for your membership. As the year comes to a
close, most of us will receive renewal request from RIMS.
At the same time companies are looking closer at these
expenses. I hope each and every one of you see the benefit
to your Membership in the L.A. Chapter. I look forward to
your continued and valued support. |

Emergency training is not “one size fits all”. The proper
emergency response to a fire might be quite different than to a
hurricane, a release of toxic chemicals, or a terrorist
attack. Not knowing the difference could make a bad situation
a lot worse – and you don’t want to wait until a
disaster.
