RIMS on the Mall is a
Tremendous Success
 

The inaugural California RIMS on the Mall Legislative Conference was held on January 28-29 in Sacramento, Calif. Nearly 20 members—representing five of the seven California RIMS chapters—united to discuss state policy issues affecting the risk management profession in The Golden State. RIMS members interacted with state legislature representatives and the Insurance Commissioner's Office staff to introduce the Society, provide education on the risk management profession and discuss the policy issues of contract certainty and workers compensation reform. Speakers at the event included Manolo Platin, director at the Office of the Insurance Advisor; Lori Kammerer, principal of Kammerer and Co.; and John Benton, principal of Government Strategies, Inc.
