The man responsible for the management of risk and insurance at Metrolinx will be speaking this month at the annual Lowes Fund Breakfast.

Metrolinx’s Derek Tang, will be talking risk on October 29 at the Insurance Institute of Ontario’s 21st annual Lowes Fund Breakfast.

“As risk management professionals, we should recognize our key roles in contributing to the success of different business areas within our companies,” says Tang, “and hence our need to develop strong business acumen to be highly effective in what we do.”

Tang will discuss risks related to public transit and the types of insurance programs used to support Metrolinx’s operations and capital projects. He is passionate about the role risk management plays in the success of his and any business, particularly start-ups.

Proceeds of the breakfast seminar will go to the John E. Lowes Insurance Education Fund, which awards financial assistance to students completing a post-secondary education – including property and casualty (P&C) insurance studies. The 2014 recipients of the John E. Lowes and Toronto Insurance Conference scholarships will receive their awards at the breakfast.

John E. Lowes was a founding partner of Irwin, Sargent & Lowes Insurance Brokers in Peterborough, Ont., and was a Chairman of the Board of Governors of the Insurance Institute of Canada, a President of the Insurance Brokers Association of Ontario and a President of the Insurance Institute of Ontario.

Tang leads the ERM Office at Metrolinx, which oversees the development and implementation of the transit agency’s enterprise risk management (ERM) program and framework.
