The golf tournament has really turned into the premier event for the Chapter, and we could not make it such a successful event if it wasn't for the continued support of our vendor partnerships and membership. So being the optimist, I will say that I look forward to seeing everyone in San Francisco. It seems like forever since we have all been able to gather together face to face at the annual conference, and we hope that 2022 will be the year that can put things back in motion. As we move into April, we will find ourselves excited to attend RISKWORLD in San Francisco. We will send out our regular email blasts as soon as we have confirmed the meeting venue and educational topic, and be sure to post this even on the website. We are also planning to have an in-person luncheon during the month of March if regulations, CDC and local guidelines, and the safety of everyone can be met.

In this spirit, we will be holding our first event of the year on February 16th, which will be a virtual Risk Manager Roundtable for Risk Managers and any interested members of their staff.

I am very proud to be serving again as the President of the Los Angeles Chapter of RIMS, and we are looking forward to having a great year as a Chapter.
