The Institute for Church Safety and Risk Management Introduces Peter Persuitti with Arthur J. Gallagher & Company's Religious & Nonprofit Practice to Advisory Board
The Institute for Church Safety and Risk Management (ICSARM) is pleased to introduce Peter Persuitti from Arthur J. Gallagher’s Religious & Nonprofit Practice Area to its Board of Advisors effective April 5, 2010.
Tupelo, MS, April 09, 2010 --(PR.com)-- As the Managing Director of the Religious & Nonprofit Practice at Arthur J. Gallagher & Co., the world’s fourth largest broker of insurance and risk management services, Peter leads the brokerage industry’s most comprehensive delivery of services focused on serving religious and nonprofit sector in the United States. Formerly, Peter was a Vice President and Religious & Nonprofit Sector Leader with the alternative market re-insurer Munich-American RiskPartners (now known as Munich Re America).
Mr. Persuitti received a Bachelor of Arts degree from the Jesuit University of Scranton, and advanced degrees from the Ohio State University. He also completed the corporate Marketing Development Program at Electronic Data Systems in Dallas, Texas (equivalent of an academic MBA).
Professionally, he represents Gallagher as the Program Administrator (providing administration and strategic planning) for a Vermont captive for Roman Catholic Dioceses called the Bishops’ Plan Insurance Company (BPIC). He helps the faith-based sector host an annual “Common Ground” Forum for religious institution insurance and risk management leaders, just now organizing its 9th annual, scheduled for May 2010 (and to be hosted by the United Methodist faith tradition and captive). He also leads the company’s annual “Convocation” program for Roman Catholic dioceses, a 150+ in-person event scheduled for May 11-12, 2010 in Nashville TN (www.ajgrms.com/convocation).
He is currently on the board of the Axelsom Center for Nonprofits (the business degree granting arm of the Covenant Church-sponsored North Park University in Chicago, Illinois) and working in a consulting and/or advisory capacity for a number of faith-based and secular nonprofits. He was a member of the Religious Advisory Council, a oversight group developing a certification in risk management in collaboration with Cambridge University (UK) and Cobble & Hammar for religious denominations. He has been a co-coordinator of the RIMS (Risk Insurance and Management Society) secular and religious nonprofit industry annual session.
In the past, he chaired a Forum and subsequent Steering Committee of global experts that led to the formation of VIRTUS®, a risk management platform for a national Roman Catholic Risk Retention Group (web site:www.virtus.org) focused on protecting children. He has help developed a new series of risk management training launched by the Gallagher Australian Religious & Nonprofit team (www.cares.org.au) and completed a roundtable recording with Christianity Today International, a module in their newly released “Reducing the Risk, Part III”.
Peter is the parent of two boys. His wife is an educational consultant, specializing in advocacy for disadvantaged children.
"My prayer is that I bring value and insight to support the audacious mission that ICSARM and the Board have for the sustainability and relevancy of church risk management long term" states Peter. “I am looking forward to assisting with anything that I can do to further the cause of ICSARM throughout the United States” concluded Persuitti.
“We are thrilled to have someone of Peter’s caliber and expertise join our advisory board” states ICSARM founder and executive director, Michael Boutot. “Peter’s level of involvement in the religious sector for risk management is unequalled in the industry” continued Boutot “and we are delighted to have Peter as part of our team.”
