A project manager with over 15 years of experience, Jude Donato has served as president of the New York office of Lockton Companies in 2005. To stay informed on changes in his industry, Jude Donato is a member of the Risk and Insurance Management Society (RIMS).
RIMS aims to provide continuous education for established insurance professionals and guidance for entrants into the field. Its calendar of webinars and workshops focuses on salient topics drawn from recent events or explains examples of creative uses of insurance and risk management practices. Examples include the importance of machine breakage insurance relative to the supply chain issues in 2022 and how cruises’ risk management practices minimized COVID-19 exposure for employees and passengers.
RIMS’ Certified Risk Management Professional (CRMP) certification stands out. It differs from similar programs because the credential demonstrates a candidate’s mastery of competencies rather than theoretical knowledge derived from a text. RIMS provides the CRMP application form, exam prep materials, and resources. Candidates can take the test in person or online via remote proctoring services.
