IRMSA’ S C ONTRIBUTION T O A CHIE VING “ SPRING OF
HOPE ”
GILLIAN LE C ORDEUR
It has been rewarding and empowering to see how the IRMSA members adopted the 2019 theme of #Impact: A year of
Risk Activism and have proven to be committed Risk Activists. As a collective the IRMSA members have resonated with
the difference that they as South Africa’s Risk Professionals have made and are responsible for driving in their respective
government departments, their organisations and their communities.
This role, and the journey our members find themselves on, can be challenging and often daunting considering the current
state of affairs in our beloved country, and at our IRMSA Conference in October 2019 we were aptly reminded by Chief Justice
Mogoeng Mogoeng of these challenges. The Chief Justice highlighted the pivotal role our members as Risk Professionals
and more so as ‘Risk Activists’ have played and will continue to play in supporting the healing of our nation. IRMSA and its
members heard his call and are committed, knowing the value of risk management and the true impact it makes, to lead in
overcoming the obstacles we face as a nation.
