This dedication is evident in the strength of our organizational culture.”
As the Senior Risk Manager for Region 4, Han manages member relations, including training, risk management, and claims support for agencies located in San Diego and Inland Counties. Buskirk, oversees sponsorships, manages the Authority’s conference presence, assists with graphic design and various communications pieces, and works with colleagues to ensure the Memoranda of Coverage are finalized and ready for members on time.
Webb is responsible for collecting payroll and loss data for underwriting, performing annual contribution calculations, coordinating actuarial studies, and providing data analysis and project support. Brockmeier, who is the senior risk manager for Region 3, serves agencies in Orange County and leverages her experience in workers’ compensation claims and safety program management in her role. Leite, who serves as senior risk manager for Region 6—the High Desert and Mountains—brings an extensive background in firefighting and environmental health and safety training.
