We will continue to align with the mission of the Chicago and Mid-Illlinois’ RIMS Chapters to lead the risk community by providing opportunities for fostering advancement of the profession through networking, education and advocacy. This year’s forum will take our prior conference offerings to a new level.

Please join us for the annual Chicagoland Risk Forum.
