Editorial Policy:
The “PULSE” is the ORIMS newsletter and is published quarterly. The opinions expressed are those of the writers and volunteer members of the PULSE editorial committee. Articles submitted to the PULSE for publication are subject to the approval of the PULSE Editorial Committee. Approval of such articles is based upon newsworthiness, and perceived benefit to the readership. All decisions of the PULSE editorial Committee are final and are not subject to appeal. Individuals submitting articles to the PULSE hereby acknowledge their acceptance of the PULSE Editorial Policy.
It is the intent of ORIMS to include articles in the PULSE must be of interest and benefit to the ORIMS membership and should not appear as an advertisement for the services of the contributing author. However, the author and/or their firm will be provided with a sufficient “by-line”.
Contribution of Articles:
The "average" article length could be two pages of typewritten text. However, due to the very nature of a specific topic, some articles warrant more (or less) space. Depending upon how "newsworthy" an article might be, the PULSE has been known to deviate considerably from the norm.
Circulation Information:
The PULSE is published with a print run of 1000 issues each edition. 350 issues are then circulated to risk management purchasers, with 150 sent to industry partners (brokers, adjusting, firms, legal firms, insurers, engineering services and other various suppliers) whom comprise the “Associate” membership of ORIMS. The remaining 500 copies are circulated to advertising and article contributors and will, in future, be distributed to various other insurance related professional associations. The Ontario Chapter of RIMS is the 6th largest RIMS Chapter.
Benefits to Participation in PULSE:
The PULSE specifically targets Risk Managers and provides a captive readership. ORIMS regularly receives testimonials and accolades from its readership and Chapter peers indicating that PULSE is a most valuable and professionally produced newsletter.
Publication Size/Rate Card:
Each edition fills 8 pages; however, depending upon the material available 4, 6 and 10 pages have been previously run. For example, an 8 page PULSE contains approximately 6 articles and a total of 2 pages of advertising. Ad sizes vary (1/8, 1/4, 1/2 of 1 full page). More information on ORIMS and RIMS and PULSE can be found at www.rims.org. Archives of PULSE can be located by navigating to the Ontario Chapter website where the current version of PULSE can also be viewed online. The PULSE has an excellent shelf life as multiple past editions can be accessed through the web.
