Vancouver, BC, January 5, 2004 – The Professional Risk Managers'
International Association (PRMIA) is pleased to announce that QuIC has committed
to support PRMIA as a Gold Sponsor. QuIC's contribution helps further PRMIA's
central mission to promote sound risk management standards and practices
globally.
"QuIC's support of PRMIA is welcomed, not only because it is a new supporter of
what we do, but that their involvement demonstrates the broad reach of PRMIA
into many disciplines of the risk and finance profession," said David R. Koenig,
Chair of PRMIA's Board of Directors. "We're very proud to have them on board and
engaged in what we are doing."
"The risk industry today faces challenges
on many fronts, from the need for extreme speed to rapidly analyze growing and
complex portfolios, to the increasing sophistication of financial instruments,
models and analytics, to evolving regulations. To meet these challenges,
industry participants not only need advanced technology solutions like those
that QuIC provides, risk professionals also need a forum for discussion,
education, industry support and leadership on a global basis, which is what
PRMIA provides and which is why we at QuIC are so proud to be a PRMIA Gold
Sponsor," says Dr. Glen Donaldson, President & CEO of QuIC
