Western Risk and Insurance Association
The Western Risk and Insurance Association and The Southern Risk and Insurance Association announce that they will share sponsorship of the Journal of Insurance Issues on an equal basis beginning in 2010. The board and membership of each organization approved the proposal in 2008 and this year will represent a transitional year period to the January 1, 2010 effective date. Both organizations believe that a strong regional journal with support from a large base of subscribers and contributors will serve the RMI field well. Look for more announcements in the coming months.
