CI,Q OF SAN BERNARDIQ) - REQUEO" FOR COUNCIL ACUN
STAFF REPORT
The Public Risk & Insurance Management Association (PRIMA) is
a nationwide orga~ization with a membership of 1400 public
sector risk management practitioners. To help it's members
cope with the unique liability problems they face, PRIMA
provides training, publications, information on successful
programs and procedures, and review of legislation on court
decisions. Many of its members work closely with other
public interest groups and testify before congressional
committees and state task forces as experts in the field. It
also has conducted a national conference during the last
seven years and is ready to embark upon its eighth annual
conference in Seattle, Washington from May 17 through May 20,
1987.
I have been a member of PRIMA for many years. Also, I am
currently on the Board of Directors of the Public Agency Risk
Managers Association (PARMA), a California statewide
association with over 300 members. It is important that I
attend the PRIMA Conference in connection with my position
with PARMA. Primarily, however, my attendance at the PRIMA
Conference will provide me with a national perspective on
contemporary issues relating to risk management.
Interaction with PRIMA members provides me with an arena to
experience new ideas, concepts, programs and innovations that
may be applied to the Risk Management Program in the City of
San Bernardino. Although the formal Agenda is comprehensive
and interesting, I have found the informal interaction with
risk managers from other parts of the country to be equally
as valuable.
In essence, I feel my attendance at the PRIMA Conference will
significantly enhance my ability to renovate the City of San
Bernardino's Risk Management Program to a high level of
sophistication.
