Stacie Laurencelle was looking for a competitive edge to enhance and align her wide-ranging experience when she took her Canadian Risk Management (CRM) designation at PACE in 2009.

“The small class size and the diverse perspectives and experiences of students enrolled in the program provided for meaningful discussions and understanding of risk,” says Stacie, who has been the Manager, Insurance at Richardson International for the past five years.

In her role, Stacie manages, designs, and implements all lines of commercial insurance coverage for Richardson International and each of its subsidiaries. Putting the knowledge she learned at PACE to the test, Stacie also proactively assesses potential and emerging risks, by informing loss control activities, building risk awareness amongst staff through accountability, and providing support and training.  

Aside from her duties at Richardson International, Stacie is a Director on the board of the Manitoba chapter of the Risk and Insurance Management Society, Inc. as well as the Manitoba chapter representative of the RIMS Canada Council, a standing committee of the Risk and Insurance Management Society, Inc. (RIMS).

 “As a result of enrolling in the program, I have formed lasting friendships with classmates and received mentorship from the instructors,” says Stacie.  “The learnings from our shared experiences demonstrated that you’re never too young or old to cultivate a meaningful career in Risk and Insurance. Risk Management practice is relevant to every position and organization.”
