Our Inclusion and Collaboration Workgroup is a group of cross-functional DEI champions.

Together, the workgroup creates and maintains interactive programming for the RMA team while activating their expertise to help fine tune the DEI strategy.
Our goal is to establish ourselves as strategic partners in not only risk management but also within the DEI space. We pride ourselves on prioritizing ongoing assessments of our practices, processes, and strategies to ensure they are equitable, inclusive, and sustainable.
We are excited to share our successes and areas of opportunities with our Members' in hopes that our experience will encourage other organizations within the Finance and Banking industry to make DEI part of their DNA.

"In order to advance the world of Finance and Banking, it is important for RMA to embed Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) into the business strategy. Making progress in this space helps us remain innovative with our products, tools, and services offered to our Members' while exemplifying the benefits of prioritizing such efforts."
