Spring Education: Risk Management Training Conference - Western Region

Our 2022 Spring Education Workshop will focus on culture, resiliency, and organizational readiness. The workshop will enhance Members’ knowledge of the human capital component of the enterprise risk management framework, apply tools and techniques to evaluate organizational culture, and develop strategies to facilitate staff resilience and promote care for the caregiver. These individual-focused sessions will support and optimize organizational readiness in this climate of uncertainty and change from an enterprise risk management perspective. (Please note that attendance at one spring education workshop by a Member’s corporate risk manager or his/her designee will fulfill Prescriptive 4.1.1.
