RIMS - Richard W. Bland Award

Organization: Risk and Insurance Management Society

Presented by the President of RIMS at the annual RIMS conference, this award is given in memory of the Kansas City Chapter's own Richard "Dick" W. Bland in recognition of outstanding performance and effort by a RIMS member in the area of legislation and/or regulation related to risk and insurance. The award consists of a suitably engraved plaque (or other appropriate object) which is presented at the annual RIMS Conference. The "Dick" Bland Award was conceived by the Kansas City Chapter, and the rules governing the award were written by Chapter members W. Hembree and C. Reid in collaboration with (then) A.S.I.M. President D. Barlow. Although this is a national level award, the Kansas City Chapter is responsible for the selection of the award's recipient.
