Celebrating Excellence: Members Receive 2022 Risk Management Awards
At the Annual Meeting of the Board of Directors this July, six members received Risk Management Awards for demonstrating superior risk management practices.
“The California JPIA’s Risk Management Awards recognize successful practices and demonstrate how individual agencies’ efforts benefit the entirety of the pool,” said Management Analyst Abe Han.
The Authority’s Risk Management Awards recognize members that have demonstrated the best overall performance in each of two programs: the Primary Liability Program and the Primary Workers’ Compensation Program.
The winners were:
Primary Liability Program
- City of Bishop (Municipal Agencies with Police Exposure)
- City of San Dimas (Municipal Agencies without Police Exposure)
- Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District (Non-Municipal Agencies)
Primary Workers’ Compensation Program
- City of Fillmore (Municipal Agencies with Public Safety Exposure)
- City of San Juan Capistrano (Municipal Agencies without Public Safety Exposure)
- Eastern Sierra Transit Authority (Non-Municipal Agencies)
While previously, the California JPIA evaluated member agencies based on quantitative and qualitative factors—such as responsiveness to LossCAP (Loss Control Action Plan) recommendations, claims improvement, and overall claims performance—this year, the Authority took a more holistic approach. Focusing on members’ engagement with risk management, staff determined the winners by considering participation in risk management programs, attendance at training opportunities, outreach, and engagement.
“I think an open line of communication, including members initiating contact to alert the California JPIA of relevant matters, is foundational for a strong risk management program,” said Chief Executive Officer Jon Shull.
Congratulations to the 2022 Risk Management Award Winners!
