Two Boston non-profit groups will be gifted with bookshelves and books from attendees and exhibitors at the Risk and Insurance Management Society 2010 Annual Conference & Exhibition, RIMS announced.
Members and vendors at the meeting, RIMS said, will be building and stocking bookshelves that will be donated to The Cam Neely Foundation and the South Boston Boys & Girls Club.
The community service day was set for Sunday from 8:30 a.m.-3:00 p.m. at the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center.
"Establishing solid literacy skills early in life is critical to personal success and RIMS is pleased to have the opportunity to provide children with better access to books and reading materials," said Terry Fleming, RIMS president and director, division of risk management for Montgomery County, Maryland.
He added, "We thank all conference attendees and exhibitors who will take part in this important event. We also extend a special thanks to Aon, a generous supporter of RIMS Community Service Day."
RIMS 2010 attendees and their guests are invited to take part in the event. Those unable to participate can help encourage literacy by donating a children's book.
RIMS will be collecting books from Sunday, through Tuesday, at the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center near the Bookstore located at the BCEC Level 1; NE Lobby A. Books also will be collected at the Aon booth #1501.
"Aon is committed to not only helping businesses manage their risks on a daily basis, but fostering innovative and fact-based ideas to help clients grow," said Doug Turk, executive vice president at Aon Corporation.
