\u201cYou\u2019ve got a broad spectrum of people across the entire value chain of risk and insurance [in RISKPAC] and there is a place for everybody. These committees are a great way to involve yourself with people like [yourself].\u201d \u2014 Greg McKenna

\xa0

\u201cThis Three Corners bill is of interest \u2026 to the risk management community [because] it falls to a family of bills that would be about setting a national standard that would help to alleviate individual state action on an important topic, \u2026 data privacy.\u201d \u2014 Greg McKenna

\xa0

\u201c[The RIMS Legislative Summit is] an absolutely fantastic way to interact with your colleagues [and] network among folks who are taking interest in these federal issues.\u201d \u2014 Greg McKenna

\xa0

\u201c[The Risk Legislative Summit is] a good way to show your commitment [and] to crystalize the RIMS position on these issues. \u2026 People come from all over the industry \u2026 but when you get there, you\u2019re representing the interests of risk management \u2026 with one voice.\u201d \u2014 Greg McKenna
