New York, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 07/01/2021 -- Like many areas of banking and financial services, risk management has often struggled with diversity. Now, the Risk Management Association (RMA) has launched a new community initiative that is specifically designed to help women move through the ranks in areas where unconscious bias and a lack of diverse opportunities may previously have held them back. The "Women in Risk" initiative will involve peer sharing, events and resources that will be made available to women who work in risk. RMA President and CEO Nancy Foster said that women hold only 11% of positions at publicly trading US financial institutions and while this is a marginal increase from the situation several years ago it's still far short of what could be achieved. It is hoped that the Women in Risk initiative will help to make risk management recruitment USA more diverse so that many more institutions can enjoy the benefits that come from a more positive gender balance.
