On deck to inspire us is keynote speaker Captain Richard Phillips. The captain is the author of A Captain’s Duty: Somali Pirates, Navy SEALs, and Dangerous Days at Sea, detailing his dramatic encounter with modern-day pirates and his remarkable rescue. The story was also turned into an Academy-Award and Golden-Globe nominated film.

Don’t be left high and dry this October as we voyage through the sea of risks. May you have fair winds and following seas as you begin your journey toward the Authority’s premier annual educational event for California JPIA members.

Risk Management Awards
Each year, the California JPIA recognizes six members for their risk management achievements. The Risk Management Awards will be given to those that have demonstrated the best overall performance in the Liability Program and the Workers’ Compensation Program. To select the winners, Authority staff evaluate various factors that reflect an organization’s risk management efforts, including the cost of claims and their progress towards completing action plan items.

There are a total of six winners, three each in the Primary Liability and Primary Workers’ Compensation Programs.

For the Primary Liability Program, winners are selected in the following categories:

• Non-municipal agencies
• Municipal agencies with police exposure
• Municipal agencies without police exposure

For the Primary Workers’ Compensation Program, winners are selected in the following categories:

• Non-municipal agencies
• Municipal agencies with public safety exposure
• Municipal agencies without public safety exposure

The award winners will be recognized and honored at this year’s Risk Management Educational Forum.
