conducts workshops on a variety of pure and speculative
risks to include: burglary, fraud, forgery, scams, and embezzlement. He's always ready to discuss any risk of
interest to his audience.
Rich says, "My
RM strategy is simple. Through my RM learning center
employees learn to create and maintain safer and more
security work environments. Through my community outreach
center (COPs007.com) they take what they've learned home and
prepare not only their family but their community for the
next natural disaster or terrorist attack."

Edward A.
Filene, who brought the credit
union movement to the USA. His hobbies include Alpine skiing
