Why did you join the D&I Advisory Council?
I joined the Council to help contribute to making the risk industry welcoming and diverse.  Risk management is a multi-disciplinary field, and diversity is a strength to our practice.  RIMS as a leading organisation in the industry has an outsized role to play.  Closer to home I've founded an LGBTQI+ employee resource group, and created a process for identifying and responding to incidents of racism.
