California JPIA Welcomes New Members
This summer, the cities of Fountain Valley, Hermosa Beach, and Laguna Hills became the newest members of the California JPIA. Our membership now stands at 126 municipal agencies, including 101 cities, 18 joint powers authorities, and seven special districts that partner with the Authority to address their risks and implement best practices.
The new members acknowledge that the California JPIA goes beyond providing insurance coverage. They have embraced the Authority’s comprehensive risk management model, which is focused on engagement, collaboration, and implementing best practices for loss prevention and risk reduction.
“We are excited to partner with our new members and support their operations,” said California JPIA Chief Executive Officer Alex Smith. “We look forward to working with City staff and elected officials by providing access to training and many other Authority services and resources. When new members are successful in minimizing the cost of their claims, it has a positive financial impact on the entire pool.”
Each new member participated in an orientation led by Authority staff, which included a curriculum on governance, finance, risk management, training, and coverage programs, including liability, workers’ compensation, and property. You may learn more about each of our new members by reading the additional articles in this issue of the newsletter.
