The Risk Management Association (RMA) - Arizona Chapter Information

The Risk Management Association is a member-driven professional association whose sole purpose is to advance the use of sound risk principles in the financial services industry. RMA promotes an enterprise-wide approach to risk management that focuses on credit risk, market risk, and operational risk. Headquartered in Philadelphia, RMA has about 3,000 institutional members that include banks of all sizes as well as nonbank institutions. They are represented in the Association by 20,000 commercial loan, credit, and risk management professionals who are chapter members in financial centers throughout North America, Europe and Asia/Pacific. The Arizona Chapter, like all RMA chapters, is organized and run by volunteer members. We strongly encourage current or prospective members to become involved in shaping the future direction of the chapter by contacting any of the current officers or committee chairs. We would also be happy to discuss the many benefits that can be derived from local affiliation in RMA. As a member-driven professional association, RMA events will take place this year at the Phoenix County Club with some excellent speakers and topics planned for 2022 and early 2023. We also will over many networking events through our Upcoming Credit Professionals (UCP) and HobNob events. These were a great success last year and for many some of the first networking events since the pandemic. On behalf of the board, I welcome you to join us for these exciting events to gain knowledge, share your expertise, and expand your network, all of which help to enrich and further develop your professional career. We also welcome you to invite guests to join RMA events. Brandon S. Brown
