2024 Northeast Florida Risk Manager of the Year Announcement

Dear Valued Members,

The Northeast Florida RIMS Chapter is excited to announce the launch of our inaugural Northeast Florida RIMS Risk Manager of the Year Award. This award is designed to honor a member of our Chapter who has demonstrated outstanding leadership and innovation in risk management over the past year.

We believe that each of us has a unique story to tell, and by sharing your experiences and successes, you can inspire and be a resource for your peers. Whether you spearheaded a major project, implemented groundbreaking risk strategies, or went above and beyond in your role, we encourage you to consider nominating yourself for this award. If you are a broker, consultant, or vendor who would like to nominate a member, we also encourage you to submit an application on their behalf. 

The selected individual will also have the distinct honor of being nominated by our Chapter for the prestigious Global RIMS Risk Manager of the Year Award!

To be considered, the nominee does not need to meet all the criteria. The core of this award is about showcasing how you've made a difference:

• How did you solve a challenging problem?
• How did you enhance your company's risk program?
• How did you share relevant data with key stakeholders to drive informed decision-making?

Even if you feel your experience doesn't perfectly align with every one of the criteria provided below, your story still holds immense value. Sharing your successes can provide valuable insights and solutions to others facing similar challenges.

For our inaugural year, the award will be based on the RIMS Risk Manager of the Year and use the following five criteria (but again, not all need to be met):

1. Criterion 1: Established and/or implemented risk management strategies that are based on the organization’s business model and are customized for its needs.
2. Criterion 2: Tackled and solved one or more major problem(s) for his or her organization, e.g., creatively and effectively used risk financing/insurance or risk transfer program to solve a specific issue, led a major risk management training initiative that improved performance, collaborated with another function to address an emerging risk, etc.
3. Criterion 3: Innovatively engaged in applying diverse strategies and techniques in developing integrated organizational risk management competencies, such as enterprise risk management, strategic risk management, business continuity management, safety and health management, information and privacy management, compliance management, claims management, etc.
4. Criterion 4: Established a workable intelligence gathering and sharing system inside and outside the organization to inform decision-makers about potential trends, events or activities that may affect the organization’s performance objectives.
5. Criterion 5: Advanced the risk management profession (as well as his or her career) through engagement, e.g., risk management-related awards, certifications/designations, mentoring, public speaking, advocacy, research, guest lecturing, publications, etc.

Let's celebrate the achievements of our Chapter members and showcase the impact of risk management in Northeast Florida! We are excited to receive your nominations!
