Today, RIMS introduced Robert Cartwright, Jr. CRM, BSB/OP as the 2018 term president of the risk management society, made effective on the first day of the new year.
A RIMS member for more than 25 years, Cartwright previously served on its Board of Directors for 10 years. Throughout his time as a Board member, Cartwright held every Board position with the RIMS Delaware Valley Chapter, including serving as its president from 2005-2007.
Cartwright was also the recipient of the 2009 RIMS Richard W. Bland Award for exceptional contributions to the Society's legislative initiatives. In his professional life, Cartwright currently works as the Division Manager of Environmental, Health, Safety and Sustainability for Bridgestone Retail Operations in the Northeast Region.
As he began his one-year term, Cartwright identified his initiatives for the year ahead, and recognized the work accomplished by risk professionals who have advanced the industry.
“In order to advance the risk management profession, we must recognize those who came before us,” said RIMS 2018 President Robert Cartwright, Jr. “Risk management has evolved leaps and bounds from just a decade ago and that progress is a direct result of our predecessors' passion and perseverance.”
“Today, industry professionals have the same opportunity to become trailblazers, increasing organizational awareness of risk management's diversity and value. As we work to establish our individual legacies, together we will strengthen and solidify the collective legacy of the global risk management community.”
