This Webinar is designed to help attendees become skilled at writing standardized and customized insurance requirements for procurement documents, professional services agreements, and construction contracts. This will enable you to be realistic, fair and effective in contractually transferring risk to your vendor. You will gain knowledge about the most effective types and uses of the Additional Insured Endorsement under your vendor’s contractually required Commercial general liability, business auto, builder’s risk, pollution legal liability, workers’ compensation and excess/umbrella liability policies. You will learn how to check certificates of insurance for compliance, and how to train others in your organization on how to check their own certificates. This Webinar will include valuable sample language and training material that you can download and start using in your contracts.
During this Webinar, participants will learn how to:
Become skilled at writing effective and reasonable insurance requirements
Increase your knowledge of the major types of indemnification and other key contracting tips
Learn about the major types and uses of Additional Insured Endorsements
Understand what to look for and how to check certificates of insurance
Public entities have unique obstacles and barriers to implementing enterprise risk management (ERM). Politics, leadership, budget constraints, operational history ("we’ve always done it this way") and resistance to change are a few of the constraints that challenge the development of ERM. In some entities, risk managers are viewed as "the person who says no" to new projects and activities or simply the insurance buyer. Combine those obstacles and attitudes and it's no wonder that there is a perception that ERM is hard to implement! But does it have to be? This Webinar will provide tools and solutions to address implementation constraints, begin to shift attitudes and turn obstacles into opportunities.
During this Webinar, participants will learn how to:
Understand the barriers to ERM implementation and ways to address them
Review how public entities with successful ERM programs have approached obstacles
Consider tools and solutions to begin to implement ERM in your entity
This Webinar will examine recent statutory, regulatory and case law developments that bear on public entities' human resource obligations under the amended American with Disabilities Act (ADA). Although the ADA originally was enacted more than two decades ago, Congress amended the ADA in 2008 in response to several U.S. Supreme Court decisions that narrowed the statute, and the implementing regulations promulgated by the EEOC went into effect in 2011. This Webinar will provide an overview of the practical implications of these changes, which present challenges to public employers that must predict their responsibilities under a recalibrated ADA. In addition, it will address actual claims against public employers, discussing the issues and exposure in such matters. Finally, because the amended ADA now shifts the focus to whether the public entity employer has provided reasonable accommodations to employees, the Webinar will discuss strategies to assist public human resource managers in meeting their evolving obligations in an atmosphere of fiscal uncertainty and legal ambiguity.
Attendees will be able to
Understand the evolving public entity human resource obligations under amended ADA
Develop strategies for predicting responsibilities under shifting ADA requirements
The role of the public sector risk manager has been evolving steadily since the early 1970s. The practice of risk management has changed from a transactional focus (simply buying insurance or implementing a safety program) to a process and management focus (trying to identify and manage ALL risks). A Recipe for Risk Management addresses the fundamental steps in the risk management process: 1. establishing the framework for the process, including internal and external contexts; 2. identifying and analyzing loss exposures; 3. evaluating and selecting the best risk management techniques to manage those exposures; 4. monitoring and reviewing what has been implemented; and, 5. communicating throughout the process.
Any one of these steps may seem like an insurmountable task to a person unfamiliar with risk management. This Webinar will break the steps into “bite-sized portions” that can be implemented by organizations of any size. For each stage of the process, useful techniques and examples of success will be discussed and will provide a firm foundation for building an effective risk management program.
This program will help non-risk managers as well as those who are new to the field come to grips with the breadth and depth of risk management in the organization. This program will also provide more seasoned risk managers with a viable format for explaining the risk management process to other members of their organizations, management and other stakeholders.
Who should attend:
Department managers
Finance officers who have a risk manager as a direct report

A disaster recovery plan protects a company’s greatest asset: the ability to generate revenue. Some organizations can become complacent if they haven’t experienced a major property loss in many years, increasing vulnerability to a significant impact on their business.
Those organizations that are prepared to respond quickly to catastrophic events on a global scale with a solid loss mitigation plan and with experts working on their behalf will resume normal operations sooner. That plan will also help organizations jump-start their claims process by providing the insurance company with timely and relevant data at the outset of a loss.
This Webinar will consider several specific public sector case studies involving catastrophic property and business interruption loss experience and will explain the basic components of loss mitigation efforts and the claims preparation and presentation process.
For the first time in history, four generations are represented in the workplace at once. These demographics present a significant challenge as miscommunication and conflict across these generations can negatively affect productivity, morale and even increase turnover. If left unaddressed the survival of your division, department or entity's long-term viability may be in question.
With this challenge comes a tremendous opportunity. If managed correctly, the diversity of viewpoints represented by the four generations can lay the groundwork for a dynamic and rewarding work experience for all. However, in order to take advantage of this opportunity, one needs to spend some time learning a bit more about what drives each of these groups.
This session will outline what motivates each generation, detail some of the events that helped shape who they are and offer strategies for managing a multi-generational workforce.
Many organizations have inserted themselves directly into the social media channel to build brand awareness and customer and employee loyalty.

During this webinar, Erika will discuss a six step process to creating a social media strategy. The presenter will also address items every organization should consider when building their Social Media Risk Management Program.
There are significant differences between MMSEA reporting and conditional payments.

There is no greater challenge or reward than providing for the safety of the children entrusted to our care. As public entities, we are often challenged by requirements to provide services to children with limited funds and resources.

Arising from the ashes of a brutal hard market in the mid-1970s, public entity risk pools began to provide an essential risk financing tool to governmental entities across the U.S. While the financing of risk was the impetus for pool formation, the critical success element that risk pools brought to the public sector was... responsibility. Public entities no longer enjoyed the luxury of simply buying insurance and then ignoring their exposures. Exposure identification, effective loss control, and comprehensive claims management became essential to the long-term success of public entities' formation of risk-sharing mechanisms we now categorize as risk pools.
Responsibility, relationships, and aggressive management of risk... these fundamental values will cement a successful partnership between the public entity and the pool to which it belongs. These principles, values and success strategies will be outlined in detail during this Webinar.

Across the country, there have been several high profile lawsuits against public entities and public officials related to wrongful conviction and wrongful incarceration. In many situations, DNA evidence has been used to overturn previous convictions of individuals who sometimes have been incarcerated for more than 10 years. That said, many cases do not involve DNA evidence, but instead involve errors such as mishandled evidence and failure to follow proper police procedures. These wrongful conviction lawsuits can lead to very large jury verdicts or significant settlements.
When these cases arise they may require insureds (public entities) to dedicate significant resources in the civil litigation, re-gather historical evidence, and access insurance policies from 10 - 20 years prior to the reversed conviction in order to determine coverage availability, including the potential for significant expense costs associated with defending the public entity and its employees.
During this Webinar, the presenters will provide an overview of the variety of issues associated with these cases, specific case information, and what an entity can expect to encounter should they be involved in the civil defense associated with a high profile wrongful conviction case.
Who Should Attend: • City and county attorneys and managers • Claim personnel • Governmental pool managers • Insurance industry underwriters • Law enforcement personnel • Risk managers

The "I Love U Guys" Foundation was created to restore and protect the joy of youth through education and safety programs and positive actions in
collaboration with families, schools, communities, organizations and government entities. This Webinar will highlight their extensive research and
development of their Standard Response Protocol (SRP), a classroom response to any school incident. The SRP is based not
on individual scenarios but on the response to any given scenario. The premise is simple—there are four specific actions that
can be performed during an incident. Execution of the action is performed by active participants, including students, staff,
teachers and first responders. Patrick Kissane, detective sergeant of the Fort Lee, NJ, Police Department says of the SRP
presentation: "I have been involved in school safety for my entire career, and have attended many different trainings on all
aspects of school safety. This presentation is a must-see for anyone that cares for or who has a responsibility for the safety of
children while they attend school."
