The Risk Management Association Welcomes Thomas Groppe as Brand and Content Director

Philadelphia, PA (September 29, 2021)—The Risk Management Association (RMA) has announced the addition of Thomas Groppe as Brand and Content Director. In the role, Groppe will leverage RMA’s industry-leading thought leadership and resources, plus its new “Advance Your World” branding, to benefit the Association’s growing membership.

Groppe will work closely with RMA Chief Marketing Officer Lori Nitschke to manage content strategy and align resources to ensure best-in-class execution of written, designed, and multimedia content throughout RMA’s marketing organization.
