RISK MANAGER IN RESIDENCE PROGRAM
The Spencer Foundation, Inc. is seeking risk managers to give presentations and lectures for its “Risk Manager In Residence” Program. The Foundation awards grants to colleges and universities to host this program and to cover transportation, housing and incidental costs for the lecturing risk manager. Now in its 10th year, the program has been praised by both risk managers and universities as a rewarding educational experience and a chance to give back to the profession.
The prospective risk manager must be a member of RIMS and have: 10 years minimum work experience; good communication skills; classroom experience; ideally CPCU or ARM teaching experience; senior specialist in his/her organization and able to spend two to three days on a college or university campus.
