Carolyn M. Snow, CPCU, has been appointed RIMS president for the 2014 term effective immediately, the risk management society announced today.

Snow, director of risk management for Humana Inc., has been a RIMS member for 14 years and has served on its board of directors for seven years. Previously, she served as the society's treasurer, secretary and director of external affairs. She is a member of RIMS' Kentuckiana/Bluegrass Chapter.

“Risk management has arrived,” Snow says in a statement. “Business leaders around the world realize that this business function can do more than just protect assets. Risk practitioners are being called on to identify and create value for their organizations and, now, have a tremendous opportunity to contribute to their companies' strategic direction.

“But it's not enough to just acknowledge the evolution of risk management,” she continues. “With an emphasis on resources that support tomorrow's leaders, the Society's global initiatives and that draw from our membership's vast knowledge and expertise, RIMS will provide our global network of risk practitioners with a clear vision of the future of the profession to better equip them to advance their risk programs through 2020 and beyond.”
