PRESIDENT’S MESSAGEI

just left the gym, got in my car and the

temperature read 109 degrees. Driving home

I noticed a huge brush fire had started near

Hwy 14 (Santa Clarita)…Ugh. I guess we can now

say Summer has arrived!Don’t get me wrong, I do

love this time of year. It’s a time for vacationing,

enjoying the beach and nearby mountains, the

days are long and the evenings are a great way

to spend time with family and friends.

A few weeks back LA RIMS kicked off

the summer with our annual Golf Tournament

at Brookside Country Club in Pasadena. What

fantastic day it was! Over 160 golfers took the

greens to another level. Our HoleSponsors were

decorated fabulously and definitely turned a few

heads.

AIG’s hole had Sandy & Johnny from the

movie “Grease,” and yes that was Lisa wearing

the black spandex singing “you better shape up…!”

ATI, IMBER Court Reporters, The Hartford, AON,

JLT and many others were in fine form. But, this

year the music from FM Global certainly rocked

the greens! If you happened to be karting by the

FM hole, Desi Gamezand Lindsey Billet have a bit

more to offer than their risk/insurance talents…

those two can sing!!

When you mix in a little BBQ, dinner,

awards and raffle prizes, this golf tournament

is truly a blast.Many thanks to our incredible

sponsors and the many others who contributed

their time and energy.

Next up on the Agenda is our Monthly

Luncheon/Educational event to be held at

the Cheesecake Factory, Wednesday, July

19thRedondo Beach. We have an excellent panel

of speakers (Mary Daly and Scott Ritto) who will be

presenting an Actuarial 101 program, a significant

and noteworthy approach in analyzing risks.

Following the July luncheon, you DO NOT

want to miss our SUMMER MIXER Thursday,

August 17th! It’s another Beach Party on the sand,

located at the beautiful Jonathan Beach Club in

Santa Monica (Pacific Coast Hwy). This is our

3rd year in a row at the Beach Club. Why? Cuz

you like it! It’s a very casually dressed event that

goes from 6-10pm. Food, drinks, bonfire, dance

floor and music from the Mini Driver Band will

be performing. The success from the 2 previous

years has certainly brought a lot of collaboration,

sharing and mingling with high level executives

from the many companies we all represent. Make

sure you calendar it! We welcome our Sponsors

and look forward to another exciting event.

Down the road we have another Luncheon,

Education Day and our Annual Holiday Party to

look forward to. We post all of this information

on our website: www.larims.org

There you can find a schedule of events,

services, risk/insurance information, plenty of

pictures from past events, newsletters, Board

Member contact information and much more. It’s

a brand new website that rolled out this year…

please use it! LA RIMS is also on Facebook HERE.

Please Like it and Follow us. Feel free

to post pictures and share your interests and

discussions!

The last Newsletter I shared a bit of

information about my interests in healthy living.

Later this year a few of us are arranging an LA

RIMS Hike! We’re thinking about a 5-6 mile hike

either to the Hollywood Sign or possibly the

Santa Monica Mountains. Stay tuned and let me

know if this interest you?

Last but not least… See the attached Flyer on our

LA RIMS 4-Day CRUISE next March 22nd, 2018.

Make plans and RESERVE NOW…tickets will sell

out. Contact me for more information.

LA RIMS

In support of the Risk Management Department at Cal State University, Northridge, the Los Angeles Chapter of

RIMS sponsored CSUN students to attend the RIMS National Conference. Each participating student received an $1,100 to attend this conference.

Below is the feedback on their trip from these participating students:

• “The 2017 RIMS conference has been one of my most memorable experiences during my time as a CSUN student. Attending the conference has afforded me the opportunity to network with professionals from all facets of the insurance and risk management industry, as well as allowing me to creating friendships that will last a lifetime!” Jared Nassaney

• “The conference is a “must” for any student interested in Insurance/Risk Management. It gave me a better insight of the industry and the endless opportunities available. Also, it was a great platform to network and build relationships with industry professionals. Overall, it was a wonderful learning experience and opportunity.” Romeo Lasam

• “My experience at the RIMS conference was very enlightening. It was much more than

learning about Risk Management, but also gave me more insight on the different types of careers in this industry. Everyone I spoke to was incredibly helpful. I received a lot of advice on routes I should take in the future, and I made many connections that would be more than happy to help me after I graduate from CSUN. I want to thank you so much again for allowing me the opportunity to travel to Philadelphia. It was one of the best trips I have taken.” Hillary Stargardter

• “Attending RIMS 2017 in Philadelphia reaffirmed my decision to pursue a career in insurance. Professionals and students from all over the country came into this one space with different backgrounds and it was extremely inspiring to learn about everyone’s journeys. There were so many networking opportunities and I met many successful individuals excited about sharing their knowledge with students. I grew both professionally and personally and am so grateful to CSUN and RIMS for the opportunity!” Hasena Nazarzai.
