A Letter from PRMIA Leadership

Welcome to the fall edition of Intelligent Risk

Your mission-focused, member-led organization has experienced tremendous growth this past quarter through initiatives that include new Learning and Development relationships in China, Middle East and Africa; more tools for our Community through the new website; and a partnership that will keep risk managers at the center of the disruption conversation.

Through our relationship with the Silicon Valley Innovation Center, we add risk management’s perspective to active dialogue on technology, talent development and the evolving role of banks in their customers’ journeys. The fundamental transformation of the business model is increasing in pace, and this collaboration will keep our organization and the profession sharp amid change.

PRMIA also was at the table for conduct and practice conversations as part of the Banking Standards Board’s Professionalism Forum, a series of events to discuss and identify how to strengthen and facilitate professionalism in banking. 

Learning & Development in our global network

We invite you to join your peers and PRMIA Board members at an upcoming event to engage in our unique approach to advancing the profession and share thoughts with Board members on growth in service of our mission.

The PRMIA EMEA Risk Leader Summit, November 13-14 in London, picks up conversations from the last Summit to bring together top-of-house risk practitioners and shape tomorrow’s risk teams. The Planning Committee welcomes risk leader practitioners to connect and engage in ways different than other risk events.

The Canadian Risk Forum in Montreal kicks off November 13 with a pre-conference workshop, then on to a 2-day rich program November 14-15. The Planning Committee consists of representatives from Canada and they hope you join your peers for the 5th year of this powerful program.

On November 8, the Washington DC and New York Chapters host “Redefining Financial Services Regulation,” a forum with skilled and outspoken industry, government and academia representatives.

And, be sure to check the schedule for events at our 45 Chapters around the world. Visit www.prmia.org/events to learn more and join practitioners in your local community.
