At its October 17, 2023, Annual Meeting, the AWC Risk Management Service Agency (RMSA) recognized the risk management efforts of its members that contributed to an improvement in their liability claims experience over the past year. The awards acknowledge the hard work and dedication RMSA’s members put into proactively managing their risks and keeping their communities safe.
The daily operations of running a municipal entity are complex, but actively managing risks and engaging in risk management helps keep municipalities running effectively, efficiently, and promotes stronger, more resilient communities. AWC RMSA commends the City of DuPont for its dedication to excellent risk management practices by recognizing it as one of this year’s loss control award winners in the categories of Loss Control Champion and Engaged Member.
RMSA members share in the costs of coverage and losses. The efforts of any member in preventing or reducing risk can affect the cost of risk for all members. Risk reduction and proactive risk management efforts benefit the membership as a whole by keeping loss experience low, positively impacting costs, and attracting more favorable insuring partners. A program of the Association of Washington Cities, RMSA is a municipal risk pool protecting the employees, assets, and officials of 106 of Washington’s cities, towns, and special purpose districts from property and liability risks and cost. RMSA strives to solve problems before they happen and protect its members’ futures when they do.
