Spring Forward with Spencer!

Dear valued supporters of Spencer,

As we embrace the longer days and the vibrant signs of spring, we are filled with a renewed sense of energy and optimism. This season, representing growth and new beginnings, beautifully reflects the progress we’re making at our organization—thanks to the incredible dedication of supporters like you.

We want to extend our heartfelt gratitude to each and every one of you. Your contributions form the foundation of our successes and empower us to be a springboard for students pursuing careers within the risk management & insurance community. As we are now halfway through the Spring semester, we are excited to see how far we have come and what lies ahead.

We’re excited about our upcoming events at the RIMS RISKWORLD Conference and can't wait to connect with many of you there. It promises to be a wonderful opportunity to network, exchange ideas, and learn from others in the field. 

Thank you for being a vital part of our journey as we spring forward into the year!

Course Development Spotlight

RIMS New Jersey Chapter

Spencer and the RIMS New Jersey Chapter are looking to partner with colleges and universities in New Jersey to expand RMI education!

Spencer’s Course Development funding supports the development
of RMI curricula. Funding opportunities range from introductory course
development (i.e., RMI 101) at institutions with no RMI courses to expanding
existing RMI courses to address upper-level topics (e.g., Insurance Company
Operations, P&C, and ERM). Grant amounts typically range from $10,000 to
$25,000 (average $15,000), and New Jersey RIMS Chapter engagement is
possible to support RMI graduate scholarships and experiential learning
initiatives.
