Women's Forum Events

Mission Statement
The Women's Forum is an affinity group of the Minnesota chapter of the Risk Management Association (RMA). We are a community of women who provide the opportunity for all women in the risk management profession to enhance their careers, develop a network of resources, learn about topics applicable to both their professional and personal development, and encourage their success.

Purpose
The purpose of the Women’s Forum is to enhance women’s personal and professional development. We will achieve this by providing:

• Access to relevant resources and learning opportunities, which will be determined by polling RMA MN members and past event attendees on a periodic basis (examples include; guest speakers, information such as mentoring resources, etc)
• Organized opportunities for RMA MN members and guests to network with other professional women in risk management related fields
• Support to each other by offering guidance or suggestions
• Business and/or social events at least 4 times per year to provide meaningful opportunities for professional women to benefit from the Forum 
• Opportunities to have fun, meet someone new and/or learn something new

Goals

• Maintain or grow attendance at Women’s Forum events each year
• Increase RMA MN chapter membership by promoting the benefits of RMA membership
• Help women in all stages of their careers grow professionally through an exchange of information, ideas, and overall broadening of perspective

Steering Committee
The Women’s Forum is managed by a Steering Committee (refer to RMA MN Women’s Forum Steering Committee Charter). Women’s Forum Steering Committee members must be RMA local chapter members (national membership not required, but encouraged).

Each Women’s Forum event attendee, including Steering Committee members, will contribute towards the cost of sustaining the Forum by paying a fee for each meeting or event they attend. This per meeting fee may also include a small administrative fee for the services provided by the MN RMA (distributing emails, collecting survey results, organizing events, etc.).
