The Risk Management Department is proud to announce we will be conducting a round of regional trainings at an area near you. The trainings will be approximately three hours and we will be discussing the following topics: 

Effective Safety Committees
Now that you have a safety committee, the real work begins. We will start by briefly reviewing the essential requirements for a safety committee, followed by a discussion on effective strategies. Then, we will explore the top 10 ideas and best practices to keep your committee members engaged during meetings and to drive safety and health improvements in your district.

Property Claims Updates
What are the most frequent property claims? Or the most expensive?  How can you mitigate the losses or even prevent them.  We will discuss typical property claims, what to look for at your locations, and steps to take if a loss occurs.

Cybersecurity Basics: Protecting Your Organization Without Being an IT Expert
Cyber threats are increasing, and special districts are frequent targets for cybercriminals. This session will help non-technical professionals recognize common cyber risks, understand their impact, and take practical steps to strengthen cybersecurity. Through real-world examples and interactive activities, participants will learn about common methods cyber criminals use to target special districts and simple steps anyone can take to boost their district’s cyber resilience. By the end, attendees will have a clear roadmap to assess their organization’s cybersecurity readiness and make immediate improvements.

We look forward to seeing you and having great conversations as we explore these risk management topics.
