DENVER—Veteran practitioners Lucille “Lucky” Gallagher and Charles “Chuck” Magazine were honored today as the latest inductees to the Risk Management Hall of Fame. Presented by AIG and RIMS, “The RMHF serves as a means to maintain the history of the field of risk management and recognizes risk practitioners who have made significant contributions to advancing the discipline.”

“The prominence of today’s risk management profession is a credit to industry leaders like Lucky Gallagher and Chuck Magazine who, throughout their careers, have continuously gone above and beyond,” said RIMS Executive Director Mary Roth.  “It is an honor for us to announce this year’s Risk Management Hall of Fame inductees and recognize them for all that they have achieved for RIMS and the profession.

”

In her 35-year risk management career, Gallagher served as vice president of risk management for ConAgra, vice president of operations for wholly-owned captive insurance company Weld Insurance Co., and CRO and managing partner of consulting firm Human Resource Risk Management. She was an active member of the RIMS executive committee, taking on the role of vice president of both government affairs and conferences before serving as president in 1994. Gallagher held positions on several state insurance bodies, including the State of Colorado Insurance Board and the Governor’s Workers Compensation Oversight Task Force.

Before his death last year, Magazine was a 40-year veteran of health care risk management and a prominent representative of the RIMS community in Florida.

In addition to several positions held with the Palm Beach County Chapter, he served on the society’s Member Chapter Services Committee and was a proud supporter of the Spencer Educational Foundation, even serving as the organization’s Risk Manager in Residence at Middle Tennessee State University. After his work helming a committee to give local legislators a “boots-on-the-ground” perspective of risk management and partnering to create a statewide version of RIMS on the Hill for Florida, he was awarded the RIMS Richard W.

Bland Award in 2008 for outstanding achievement in legislative and regulatory affairs.
