reviews by the 1,100 conference attendees.

CRIS Designees To Receive 15% Discount
IRMI is pleased to announce that current holders of
the Construction Risk and Insurance Specialist (CRIS)
certification will qualify for a 15% discount off the
applicable registration fee for the 30th IRMI
Construction Risk Conference. The cost of the five
CRIS courses is so low that this discount nearly funds
the entire cost of obtaining the CRIS certification!
To qualify, you must be a current holder of the
certification at the time you register for the
Conference (i.e., you must have met the reaccreditation
requirement if you have held the certification for more
than 24 months).
If you are not already a CRIS certification
holder and sell, buy, underwrite or advise on
insurance programs for contractors, consider
obtaining the certification and attending this
year's IRMI Conference. If you do this, you will
end the year with vastly expanded construction
risk and insurance expertise, a recognized and
respected industry certification, and a valuable
network of construction risk and insurance
professionals.
