Wealth Management Risk Managers

Wealth management risk managers do not belong to unions. Some become members of professional associations that provide certification and continuing education programs, publications, and career resources. For example, the Professional Risk Managers’ International Association offers the professional risk manager credential and the associate professional risk manager certificate, provides career webinars, publishes Intelligent Risk (a quarterly journal for its members), and offers hundreds of meetings each year through its local chapters. The American Bankers Association represents the nation’s banking industry, which includes small, regional, and large banks. It provides extensive continuing-education programs, hosts the Wealth Management & Trust Conference, and publishes the ABA Banking Journal. Other noteworthy organizations include the American Risk and Insurance Association, Global Association of Risk Professionals, Public Risk Management Association, Risk & Insurance Education Alliance, and RIMS-the risk management society.
