BI’s Article search uses Boolean search capabilities. If you are not familiar with these principles, here are some quick tips.

To search specifically for more than one word, put the search term in quotation marks. For example, “workers compensation”. This will limit your search to that combination of words.

To search for a combination of terms, use quotations and the & symbol. For example, “hurricane” & “loss”.

European risk management group names vice presidents

Reprints

Three new vice presidents will join the Federation of European Risk Management Associations, the association said Thursday.

The new vice presidents are:

• Cristina Martinez, board member of the Spanish risk management association IGREA and group chief risk officer at Sacyr, a Madrid-based construction company.

• Isabel Martínez Torre-Enciso, board member of the Spanish risk management association AGERS and professor of corporate finance at the University of Madrid.

• Dirk Wegener, member of German risk management associations DVS and BfV and global head of corporate insurance at Frankfurt-based Deutsche Bank A.G.

FERMA said in a statement that they fill vacancies on the executive committee left by vice president Michel Dennery, whose term had ended but who will continue to lead as a board member and committee chair; and Alessandro De Felice, who left the FERMA board in June when he was elected president of the Italian risk management association ANRA.

Director Gilbert Canameras, group risk and insurance chief officer and vice president finance for Eramet Group, will replace secretary general Helle Friberg, group risk and insurance manager of Hempel A/S, who will continue as a member of the FERMA board.

The announcement comes before the 2015 FERMA Risk Management Forum and the start of Jo Willaert's term as president. Mr. Willaert was appointed to the newly created position of deputy president of FERMA in December. He will become president of FERMA Oct. 7, after the FERMA Forum in Venice.

Current President Julia Graham has agreed to remain involved as immediate past president until her term of office as a FERMA board member ends at the next general assembly in June 2016, the statement said.

Mr. Willaert is corporate risk manager for Brussels, Belgium-based Agfa Gevaert N.V.
