10th Annual Capstone Award Nominations Being Accepted
The nomination period is open for the 10th Annual California JPIA Capstone Award.

Submissions will be accepted through April 12, 2023.
We encourage you to tell us who should be considered for the Capstone Award by clicking here to complete a brief nomination form. The success of the Capstone Award depends on you and others to identify a colleague who works tirelessly behind the scenes to promote excellence in risk management.
An individual nominated for the Capstone Award could be a person who is working at any level within a member agency and ideally would be someone who:
- Works to support the member agency’s traditional or enterprise risk management efforts.
- Develops, implements, and administers loss control and prevention programs to mitigate risk exposures for the member agency.
- Coordinates support systems that serve the member’s risk management goals and needs.
- Influences others in developing quality risk management programs for the member agency.
At last year’s Risk Management Educational Forum, Shannon Buckley from the City of Lake Elsinore was presented with the Capstone Award. Buckley, the City of Lake Elsinore’s Assistant City Manager, was selected from five finalists and chosen for her exemplary risk management efforts. Some of her accomplishments include implementing a new sidewalk survey program, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliance program, and the dark area streetlight assessment program. Additionally, Buckley is recognized for leading by example when it comes to implementation and following through with the service and care of city employees.
All finalists will be recognized at this year’s Forum on August 30–September 1, 2023, at the Omni La Costa Resort in Carlsbad. For questions about the Capstone Award, please contact Nikki Salas by email or at (562) 467-8722.
