Olen Stewart Jr. became the first member of the new category after retiring from Southern States Cooperative Inc., where he was the risk manager for over 24 years.

Mr. Stewart has served on the New York-based RIMS board of directors, on the Membership and Chapter Services Committee as member, vice chairman and chairman as well as a director for the Virginia chapter.
