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”.

FERMA expands membership to individuals, corporations

Reprints

The Federation of European Risk Management Associations has changed its bylaws to admit individual and corporate members who have an interest in risk management.

Previously, membership in the Brussels-based association was limited to national risk management groups in Europe.

To join FERMA, individual members must manage or oversee risk or insurance for their employer, while corporate members must have insurable interests in Europe and employ a risk or insurance manager, FERMA said.

“We know that individuals and companies who have an interest in managing risks in Europe would like to follow our activities more closely,” Pierre Sonigo, FERMA secretary general, said in a statement.

“How many there will be, we do not yet know, but we expect to have applications from the United States, the Middle East and other parts of the world, including the small number of European countries which do not currently have a FERMA member association,” he said in the statement.
