Marie-Gemma Dequae has been re-elected President of the Federation of European Risk Management Associations (FERMA) by its executive board members. She is Group Risk & Insurance Manager of Bekaert, a Belgian multi-national metal transformation and advanced materials and coatings group, and a member of the Belgian risk management association, BELRIM.
The board also chose as FERMA’s two vice-presidents Franck Baron of the Swiss risk management association, SIRM, and Hans Gorrée of the Dutch risk management association, NARIM. Fernand De Winter of BELRIM was elected Treasurer, and Pierre Sonigo from the French association AMRAE remains Secretary General.
FERMA also accepted two new members to its ranks – Poland’s POLRISK and the Risk Management Association of Finland (RMAF). The risk management associations of 15 countries are now FERMA members. Theboard selected Rafal Rudnicki of POLRISK and Lassi Vaisanen of RMAF to serve as Directors of FERMA.
Other new directors are Stoian Lilov of the Bulgarian association BRIMA and Hans Brandt from Sweden’s SWERMA. Lilov will take responsibility for FERMA’s enlargement activities.
FERMA’s bulletin noted that the organization “has also welcomed two Austrian risk managers as individual members, a category open to risk managers in countries where the national association is not a member of FERMA.”
The FERMA Forum, a biennial European wide risk management conference, will take place in Geneva from 30 September until 3 October 2007. For more information about the FERMA Forum 2007, see the FERMA web site at: www.ferma.eu
