Given that the Risk and Insurance Management Society is an organization that helps educate insurance professionals on how to limit risks, it's not surprising that the first question RIMS President Michael Liebowitz often heard when planning this year's event was, “After all that has happened in New Orleans recently, why hold the annual RIMS conference there?” But he's ready with a response to this frequently asked question.
“If the insurance industry turns its back on that city in its time of need, then shame on them,” said Liebowitz. “New Orleans has been ready, well in advance to host a conference of this size, and we want to show our support. It's also the home of the first annual RIMS conference.”
As it turns out, this year is the seventh time that the annual conference has been held on the bayou. It will take place between Apr. 29-May 3, 2007, at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center, and marks the 45th year that the Society has served up a valuable resource for the insurance community to utilize as an educational opportunity.
