DALLAS—International Risk Management Institute,
Inc. (IRMI) is pleased to announce that access to the “Glossary of Insurance
and Risk Management” is now available on its public Web site, www.IRMI.com.
There is absolutely no cost to access definitions of the 3,000+ insurance terms
it contains. Previously, this resource was only available to those who purchased
it.
In addition to definitions of more than 3,000 risk management and insurance
terms, the IRMI.com Glossary translates 860 acronyms and abbreviations, making
it one of the most comprehensive and up to date insurance and risk glossaries
available. The IRMI.com Glossary provides quick answers to questions involving
unfamiliar terminology used in insurance policies, submissions, proposals, and
risk management reports. It also cross-references to specific sections
in IRMI references for occasions when more information is needed on selected
topics.
IRMI president Jack P. Gibson said, “The Glossary was first published in
1978, and now we’re opening it up to the world on its 30th birthday. Our goal
is to involve the entire risk and insurance community in growing and improving
the glossary in the future.”
The risk and insurance community can contribute by suggesting improvements
in existing definitions or suggesting new terms and definitions to include.
If your definition is accepted, you will be listed in a special contributors
section on IRMI.com, and this listing will include a valuable link to your Web
site.
The index to the IRMI.com Glossary is also available to put on other Web
sites in the risk and insurance community. This will allow insurance and risk
management organizations to easily add a glossary feature for their Web site
visitors to use, and also include more than 3,000 key terms on a Web site to
assist with search engine rankings.
The Glossary is listed in the “Free
Resources” section of www.IRMI.com on the left-hand side.
