Risk Management Committee

Risk Management Committee was created during McKenzie Term, Fall 2009. It was written into a series of updates to the bylaws by Derek Ng. The committee was meant to investigate all risk management infractions and offer recommendations to the chapter as to what would be the best course of action. The Risk Management Committee is chaired by the Sergeants-At-Arms. It is composed of the Sergeants-At-Arms, three brothers who have active status (one chosen each by the President, the Service Vice Presidents, and the Membership Vice Presidents), and three advisors. In practice, the first ever Risk Management Committee drafted a Chapter Risk Management Policy to extend national policy to include other things that the chapter feels would be a matter of risk management.

An understanding of Robert's Rules, the chapter's by-laws and constitution, the national constitution, and risk management policy should be emphasized for members of Risk Management Committee. After the first active RMComm, Ashish Bhatt and Jhonatan Paredes recommended that it would be wise to have at least one of the appointed members of the committee be a newer active so that they could become better-versed in the rules and policies and be able to pass the knowledge along.
