\u201cThe thing I can tell you \u2026 about the Goodell Award that RIMS just recently bestowed on me \u2026 is [that] it\u2019s the pinnacle of your career, if you will, to receive that award. And to have Mary Roth \u2026 present that award to me was just overwhelmingly heartfelt.\u201d \u2014 Lance Ewing
\xa0
\u201cI have an amazing staff. \u2026 I couldn\u2019t have received the Goodell award without my staff. They do such a phenomenal job in backing me up and, quite frankly, keeping the engines running.\u201d \u2014 Lance Ewing
\xa0
\u201cMy philosophy has always been, from a risk standpoint, the more safety, loss prevention, [and] risk control you have, the fewer claims you\u2019re going to have.\u201d \u2014 Lance Ewing
\xa0
\u201cI\u2019m looking for competency \u2026 but I\u2019m looking more for chemistry [when reviewing risk management professional job applicants.] Are you going to fit with the team? .. There\u2019s go to be a competency and a chemistry [but] I think chemistry is most important.\u201d \u2014 Lance Ewing
