Celebrating Excellence: Members Receive 2025 Risk Management Awards
Six Authority members received Risk Management Awards for demonstrating superior risk management practices at the July Board of Directors’ annual meeting.
The Authority’s Risk Management Awards recognize members who have demonstrated the best overall performance in the Liability and Workers’ Compensation programs. The winners are:
Liability Program
- Coachella Valley Association of Governments (Non-Municipal Agencies)
- City of Big Bear Lake (Municipal Agencies without Police Exposure)
- City of San Luis Obispo (Municipal Agencies with Police Exposure)
Workers’ Compensation Program
- Southern California Association of Governments (Non-Municipal Agencies)
- City of Calabasas (Municipal Agencies without Public Safety Exposure)
- City of Morro Bay (Municipal Agencies with Public Safety Exposure)
A committee of California JPIA staff evaluated various factors that reflect member risk management efforts, including overall claims performance, improvement in claims performance over time, responsiveness to Loss Control Action Plan (LossCAP) recommendations, participation in the Authority’s loss control programs, and attendance at training and academy opportunities.
“The Risk Management Awards reflect the power of strong governance and leadership,” said California JPIA Chief Executive Officer Alexander Smith. “I am honored to celebrate this year’s award recipients. Their commitment to excellence in risk management sets a standard for our entire membership and public agencies throughout the state.”
Congratulations to the 2025 Risk Management Award Winners!
