The McGannon Foundation has a Student Involvement Program for students that are enrolled in post-secondary study programs in Risk Management, Insurance or related programs. The Foundation is offering a unique opportunity for these students to attend the Annual RIMS Canada Conference. At this conference, students will learn about risk management at the educational sessions and network with professionals in all segments of our industry.
This is a great opportunity for the student who is enrolled at either a Canadian University or Community College with a major in finance, management, engineering safety and loss control acturiarial science, advanced statistics and accounting.

This year the Conference will be held in Edmonton, Alberta, from September 26th to the 29th 2010. Application and all supporting materials must be received in a single mailing to the Foundation no later than August 15, 2010.
If awarded, the Foundation will provide registration fees, hotel expenses, reasonable transportation to and from the conference, and a small honorarium to cover reasonable out of pocket expenses incurred during the Conference.
2009 Conference
As part of our Student Involvement Program initiative, we are pleased to advise that the McGannon Foundation sponsored two students to attend the Canadian Risk Management Conference in St John's, NL from September 13 - 16, 2009.
Selected to attend were Andrew Barker, a 4th year student at the University of Calgary's Haskayne School of Business majoring in Risk Management, Insurance and Finance, and Jana Harding, a 4th year Business Administration student at Memorial University in St. John's.
2009 was the first time the Foundation has sponsored students to a conference and the Board looks forward to providing the opportunity for young scholars to learn from the conference sessions and interact with industry professionals.
