Risk Managers Committee Inaugural Meeting

During the California JPIA’s inaugural Risk Managers Committee meeting on May 16, approximately 30 member agency risk managers addressed timely topics, including wildfire risk management, fire prevention, and facility reinforcements.

“Risk managers often are a public agency’s first line of defense against risk,” said Brad McKinney, assistant city manager for the City of San Dimas and the committee’s newly elected chair. “I think it’s important to provide a space where risk managers can speak candidly and ensure delivery of optimal risk management solutions.”

McKinney and Arabo Parseghian, division manager for the City of La Cañada Flintridge and committee vice-chair, hope the group will allow the California JPIA’s member agency risk managers to save time, money, and resources by sharing information and lessons learned.

“I want the committee to become a unified front when it comes to being proactive about risk management,” said Parseghian. “As the committee starts to communicate more frequently, we will share ideas and solutions to transfer knowledge and experiences among agencies.”

The next quarterly Risk Managers Committee meeting is scheduled for August 15.
