Workshop Description:

We have all see things go horribly wrong while event planning, whether it is snow storm, a volunteer who doesn’t show up, or worst yet someone walking off with all your donations. Risk management for any organization means taking the time to think about what could happen, and then taking the steps needed to prevent those things from happening, or to reduce their impact if they do. Buying insurance is NOT risk management! This interactive session will help you to assess your organization’s status and begin to make a plan. A good risk management strategy can save a lot of grief, anxiety and problems.
