Celebrating Member Achievement with the 2026 Risk Management Awards
At the California JPIA’s 2026 Annual Meeting of the Board of Directors in July, six Authority members received Risk Management Awards for demonstrating superior risk management practices.
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
- West Cities Police Communications (Non-Municipal Agencies)
- City of Chino Hills (Municipal Agencies Without Police Exposure)
- City of Fountain Valley (Municipal Agencies with Police Exposure)
Workers’ Compensation Program
- Big Bear City Community Services District (Non-Municipal Agencies)
- City of Santa Clarita (Municipal Agencies Without Public Safety Exposure)
- City of San Luis Obispo (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 their individualized Loss Control Action Plan (LossCAP) recommendations, participation in the Authority’s loss control programs, and attendance at training opportunities.
“At its core, risk management is about protecting people and safeguarding public resources,” said California JPIA Chief Executive Officer Alex Smith. “The awards recognize agencies that have made risk management a priority and have demonstrated diligence in serving their communities. It’s a privilege to recognize them.”
Congratulations to the 2026 Risk Management Award Winners!
