Recovery Industry Mastermind Armor Update

Dear friends and colleagues,

The Recovery Industry Mastermind (RIM) Committee met again on Thursday August 29th. The primary objectives were to:

✅ Finalize the structure of the organization
✅ Determine how funds would be collected and distributed
✅ Vote on the qualification requirements to receive financial assistance through RIM
✅ Determine next steps

Here’s an update on the progress the Committee has made so far:

✅ Entity Organization: The RABF has graciously offered to allow RIM to “roll up” under their existing entity. This would eliminate the need for RIM to apply on its own to qualify for non-profit status. It would also allow us to collect and distribute funds jointly on the RABF platform, while ensuring the funds are kept appropriately separate. We are working out the details now.

✅ Qualifications: The committee voted on the eligibility requirements to receive financial assistance through RIM:

To be eligible to receive assistance, the agent must be a member in good standing with the ARA, Eagle 20, AFA or other approved and recognized industry association or group.

✅ Equipment: The committee has identified a safety equipment manufacturer who has expressed interest in joining with RIM to provide body armor and potentially light truck armor. Due diligence is currently in the works.

See photos!

✅ Next steps: RIM committee members are working on contract verbiage and will provide it to RABF for redlining, then schedule a follow up meeting with RABF to take place within 30 days.

Once again, a huge THANK YOU to the committee members for investing their time, energy, effort, and financial resources. This is a very real commitment and deserves to be recognized.
