12th Annual Capstone Award Nominations Being Accepted
The nomination period for the 12th Annual California JPIA Capstone Award is open! The award is presented annually at the Authority’s Risk Management Educational Forum to an individual who most notably exemplifies risk management best practices among the Authority membership. Submissions will be accepted through April 4, 2025.
Please nominate someone who should be considered for the Capstone Award by completing the brief online form. Your input is crucial in identifying colleagues who promote risk management excellence.
Nominees can be from any position within a member agency. They just need to be champions for risk management! Here are some examples of characteristics that will be considered:
- 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 the 2024 Risk Management Educational Forum, Alexa Davis, assistant city manager for the City of Rolling Hills Estates, was presented with the Capstone Award. Davis was selected from four finalists and chosen for her role in advancing risk management efforts within the agency. In July 2023, land movement occurred that caused the city to red-tag homes. During that time, Davis implemented strategic mitigation efforts to reduce risk exposure to the city. Her efforts were also critical in quickly deploying resources to aid residents. Davis is a risk management champion widely respected by her peers within the organization and the risk management profession.
All finalists will be recognized at this year’s Forum on October 1–3, 2025, at the Omni La Costa Resort in Carlsbad. For questions about the Capstone Award, please contact Chief Administrative Officer Nikki Salas by email or at (562) 467-8722.
