Saskatchewan, "The Land of Living Skies", well known for its amazing sunrises and sunsets, is home to this exciting RIMS chapter. SKRIMS is committed to continuing to offer networking opportunities and provide educational content for our members.
2023 was a very exciting year for SKRIMS as the Saskatchewan Chapter was recognized as a 2023 ECHO Award winner by RIMS through the ECHO Chapter Recognition Program for our achievements as a chapter in 2022. Having virtual lunch and learns has provided SKRIMS members with the opportunity to hear from risk management professionals across the globe deliver first rate professional development content.
SKRIMS launched its Mentoring Program pilot project in 2023 and are currently reviewing the feedback and making plans to offer it again in 2024.
SKRIMS introduced a new logo at the end of the 2023 so watch for ways to win branded merchandise at upcoming events. The calendar of events has been posted to the website so please mark your calendar for upcoming events.
At the 2023 December Holiday Event, I was pleased to announce the continuation of the “Win Your Way to the RIMS Canada Conference Contest” for 2024 open to all SKRIMS members residing in Saskatchewan. This year we have increased the value of the scholarship to $2,500 and will be drawing for two people to go to the RIMS Canada Conference in Vancouver in October 2024.
v You could WIN a RIMS Canada Conference Registration and Hotel expenses up to $2,500!
v For every SKRIMS event that you attend between June 2023 and the AGM in May 2024, eligible SKRIMS members will receive an entry to the draw for the contest.
