Tenured:

In recognition of the many milestones and achievements National Alliance designees have made in their successful careers, the Board of Governors initiated the Tenured status in 2011.  Therefore, this special recognition of tenure has been granted to CIC, CRM, CPRM, CISR, and CSRM designees who have met the following criteria:

  1. Held the designation for 25 or more years.
  2. CIC, CRM, CPRM, CISR, and CSRM designees who have not held the designation for 25+ years but are 70 years old or older.
  3. Designation is in good standing.
  4. Membership dues are current.

These Risk & Insurance Education Alliance designees will be eligible for tenured status and may maintain their designation by paying dues every year and attending a qualified program every other year.

 

Emeritus:

A status available to designees who are ready to retire, but not ready to give up the designation for which they worked so diligently and maintained for so many years. Emeritus status is maintained with annual dues payment and no annual update is required. The Emeritus status guidelines are:
