Our Mission
We believe that the financial marketplace in Switzerland does and will make a significant contribution to best practices in international risk management. We provide an open forum for risk management.
Our Mission is to strengthen Switzerland’s standing as a center of expertise in risk management. The Swiss Risk Association aims to enforce the network and enable an exchange among risk experts:
- Creating a networking platform
- Sharing knowledge and information about risk
- Organizing Events
Organization
Board of Directors (BoD)
The Board of Directors (BoD) is responsible for the strategy and represents the association externally. The Board members determine the yearly budget and the membership fees. They handle appeals of membership revocation and membership requests. Most of the Board Members also chair a risk chapter.
Chapter Teams
The Chapter Teams are responsible for curating the content and setting the agenda for chapter events. Each team organizes 2-3 chapter meetings annually, which are open exclusively to members and day pass ticket holders. Chapters are led by a chair, either a board member or an individual nominated and approved by the board, and may be co-chaired by a main sponsor. SRA sponsors and other experts actively contribute to the discussions and topics in various roles within the chapter teams.
