RIMS Upstate New York Chapter

Thank you to everyone who stopped by the RIMS Upstate NY booth at yesterday's Insurance Club of Buffalo I-Day in Buffalo! It was wonderful seeing friends of the Chapter and sharing information on the benefits of membership with new connections! One of our favorite full-circle moments was re-connecting with Andrew Johnson, a recent Le Moyne College risk management graduate and student member of our Chapter, who has now begun his career in the industry as an Underwriter at Acadia Insurance (a Berkley Company)! It is so wonderful to hear about the success of our up-and-coming RMIS professionals! #RIMS #UpstateNYRIMS #riskmanagement #insurance #networking

Thank you to everyone who joined us for our RIMS UNY Chapter April Meeting yesterday in Canandaigua, NY! 🌷 It was a jam-packed day! Brian Reynolds, ARM opened the meeting with Chapter updates followed by an interesting and informative presentation on all things business interruption by Bill Warren and Parker Gallo, CFPS from Sigma7 and Paragon Risk Engineering! After our educational session, attendees enjoyed a food and wine demonstration over lunch by New York Kitchen. Following lunch, we enjoyed a happy hour in the Rose Tavern at the Lakehouse where we soaked up the sun and each other's company! Endless thanks to our incredible speakers, our meeting sponsor AIC Companies LLC, and our happy hour sponsor PMA Companies for making such a wonderful day possible! #RIMS #UpstateNYRIMS #riskmanagement #insurance #networking
