social responsibility during the organization’s recent annual meeting
in San Diego.
RIMS donated $10,000 to the Monarch School, which provides accredited
educational programs in a stable environment to homeless and at-risk
youth in the San Diego area. RIMS meeting attendees also took advantage
of a convention center program facilitating volunteer work in local
community improvement efforts.

Shades of Green for Financial and Insurance
Planners
A recent survey of the readers of Financial &
Insurance Meetings suggests that industry planners are personally
committed to green meetings and events, but their companies are slower
to get on board.
Asked if a hotel’s corporate environmental policy plays any role in
their site selection process, 47 percent of respondents said yes—but
they don’t specifically ask about it. Another 47 percent said it does
not play a role. Only 5 percent said that they include green questions
on their requests for proposal.
