Sarah Perry, incoming president of the Public Risk Management Association and risk manager for the City of Columbia in Missouri, said her goal is to expand the association's message and resources to those who are not currently members.
Some smaller government entities, for example, may not have a risk manager, but might split risk management duties among several people.
She also would like to increase the involvement of members, in order to develop future association and industry leaders. To do this, she said PRIMA is bolstering its online education–as well as regional and site-specific training–to reduce travel requirements.
PRIMA has added online sample documents, programs and policies for members as well, she noted.
Ms. Perry also plans to see that the board's goals are reached. “Every year our board reviews strategic goals. I want to make sure the strategic plan identified by our board is followed,” she said.
But most of all, she reiterated the importance of working together.
“I see that the next 12 months has the potential for challenges, but more and more people I meet in public risk management are making it work as we go,” she said. “I'm amazed at the things we accomplish and the things we get done, and a lot of it is because we work together.”
