Irene Lai, QBE Group Head of Underwriting Governance, Sustainability and Standards, has great memories of her first Reinsurance International Study Course (RISC) in 2014.
“The extent of accessible knowledge, open discussion and immersion created by the Syndicate Advisors and RISC organisers, balanced by fun and enjoyment, made this one of the more memorable courses I have been to,” Irene says.
“I made meaningful professional connections that are still strong today as a result of attending RISC and found I could apply my new learnings immediately in the role I was in at the time.”
Making RISC happen
Irene was honoured to be approached to join the RISC committee, as its principles align with the way she likes to contribute to the industry.
“What could be better than cultivating an open learning environment where participants can navigate complex topics that enable strategic decision-making, encourage curiosity and broaden evolving perspectives? Above all, we get to see participants enjoying the whole process.”
