The Authority strives to enhance your ability to improve or implement effective risk management programs, thus this section is designed to be a resource for your agency's risk management efforts.

Utilize the resources and strategic allies provided in the link section to gain information from national, state and local agencies. Stay in tune with recent trends and legislation through articles in the Authority's quarterly newsletter. And, perhaps most importantly, use the sample policies in the library as a guideline when drafting policies for the most pressing risk management issues your organization faces.

Risk management is not designed to be a "quick fix" to an organization's losses or problems. It requires a systematic approach, long-term commitment and the full support of top management. Clearly defined objectives and benchmarks need to be put in place to ensure that any risk management program is having a tangible, financial benefit.
