The deal will see the major insurer sponsor RMIA’s annual risk management conference and work with the institute on other leadership activities.
Jason Clarke, QBE EGM – intermediary distribution ANZO, said that the partnership will aim to help the firm better support and connect with the key risk management industry.
“The development of strong relationships with risk professionals, through organisations like RMIA is critical to the continual growth and success of our business, helping us better support and understand industry needs and deliver improved solutions to our customer base,” Clarke said.
RMIA president,

“The strategic partnership strengthens RMIA’s position in leading the development of the risk management community through national based professional development, education and networking, whilst continuing to support the individuals that are fundamental to a strong association,” Ventura said.
