RIMS has announced that David Arick will lead the society as president for the 2024 term.
He is assistant treasurer, global risk management at International Paper Company, one of the world’s leading producers of fiber-based packaging and pulp.
Based in Memphis, Tennessee, his team is responsible for risk financing and captive management, insurance programs and claims management, and property loss prevention engineering.
As he steps into his new role, StrategicRISK caught up with him to learn more about his outlook for risk, his priorities for the society, and how the profession can appeal to younger graduates.
What are the key goals you hope to achieve in your time at RIMS?
My number one priority is to follow the lead of the amazing risk professionals who have served as RIMS President before me. Each one has brought their unique perspective and a wealth of experience to the role. They laid incredible groundwork. I’m looking forward to building on that.
More specifically, my priorities include continuing to fill the risk management pipeline with smart, talented professionals.
While supporting students and universities remains a RIMS focus, I see a need for RIMS to develop even more…
