NU Online News Service, Dec. 12, 11:1 a.m. EST?The Risk and Insurance Management Society Inc. announced it has approved a membership category with a new fee structure for retired members.

Olen Stewart Jr. became the first member of the new category after retiring from Southern States Cooperative Inc., where he was the risk manager for over 24 years.

Mr. Stewart has served on the New York-based RIMS board of directors, on the Membership and Chapter Services Committee as member, vice chairman and chairman as well as a director for the Virginia chapter.

"This new category serves as a ?connect' for me to an organization which I am totally dedicated to as a professional group unequaled in the industry workplace," Mr. Stewart said.

RIMS said that any deputy or associate member who has retired is eligible to become a retired member. The benefits to the member remain the same, but the price of membership is $100 a year.

RIMS said it has 8,000 members. Annual memberships average $400-$425, the association said.
