Student Membership Growth Award

Carolinas RIMS is proud to announce that it received the 2012 RIMS Student Membership Growth Award because of our increase in student membership in 2012. Our Chapter increased its student membership by more than 10% last year. This achievement will be acknowledged at RIMS 2013 Annual Conference & Exhibition, April 21-24 in Los Angeles via a listing in the conference program, poster in the RIMS booth (#1021) and a listing on a presentation slide during the Awards Luncheon on Monday, April 21. 

Student Shadow Day

Carolinas RIMS is pleased to be hosting Student Shadow Day 2013 on Friday, March 22. We need corporate sponsors to host one or two risk management students from either Appalachian State or UNCC for the day. Shadow day gives all of us the opportunity to mentor future risk management and insurance professionals and provide the students a glimpse at the opportunities our profession has to offer. It is an invaluable experience for the students and one that RIMS enjoys hosting, but we could not do it without your help.

Please join the Carolinas RIMS Chapter in making Shadow Day 2013 a success by signing up to be a corporate sponsor. Contact Karen Mouton if you'd like to sign up.
