WKU'S Woosley Earns Certified Risk Manager Designation

Bowling Green, Ky. - Barry D. Woosley, risk manager at Western Kentucky University, has earned the designation of Certified Risk Manager from Certified Risk Managers International.

Certified Risk Managers International is a nonprofit organization founded by The National Alliance for Insurance Education & Research, a nationally recognized source of insurance and risk management education. To attain the CRM designation, Woosley was required to complete all five courses in the program, and pass extensive examinations in the subject areas of Risk Management Essentials, Risk Analysis, Risk Control, Risk Financing, and Risk Administration.

The CRM Program features practical, "hands-on" course content designed to be applied immediately to the risk manager's daily work.

Due to the advanced level of the curricula, the CRM designation has gained national esteem and recognition since its origination in 1996. "The CRM designation is visible recognition of the commitment by Woosley to continuing excellence and professionalism in the field or risk management," said Wayne Dauterive, ARM, vice president of CRM International.

Woosley is also a Certified Public Accountant and has been employed at Western for 14 years. Prior to joining Western, he was a partner with Taylor, Polson, and Woosley in Glasgow.
