Public Relations

Sharm Baker
Director of Public Relations

As a risk management professional and the RiskSIG Director of Public Relations, my vision and goal is to broaden our membership across the globe. In this time of global business, risk managers across industries and countries need a strong resource that I believe the PMI RiskSIG offers. I would like to increase the RiskSIG communication and relations, both internally and externally to benefit our members and attract new members. Having the professional experience in implementing such international programs and relationship building, I know this can be done and I look forward to putting that experience in place for the RiskSIG and its members.
