Hollywood Casino employee named GCRMA president3 March 2008UIS, Mississippi -- (PRESS RELEASE) -– Carlotta Arnsdorff, risk manager of Hollywood Casino Bay St. Louis, has been elected president of the Gulf Coast Risk Managers' Association (GCRMA). Her one-year term began last month after past-president Diana Varnado, risk manager at the Beau Rivage casino completed her two year term. "I am pleased to turn over the reins to someone as talented and capable as Mrs. Arnsdorff," said past-president Diana Varnado. "Our members network with business professionals along the Coast and are dedicated to the safety of not only their businesses, but our community as well," said Arnsdorff. The Gulf Coast Risk Managers' Association (GCRMA) was originally established in 1995 as the Gulf Coast Casino Risk Managers Association. The objective of the association was to provide a format to share information and experiences with the membership in an effort to reduce exposure and costs in the area of General Liability, Workers' Compensation and Safety. As the association grew and prospered the membership recognized the limitations of restricting its membership to Casinos. In 1996 the by-laws were amended to provide membership to all types of businesses relating to the fields of General Liability, Workers' Compensation and Safety. As the by-laws were changed, so was the name, to the present GCRMA. GCRMA is incorporated as a non-profit organization.
