Risk Management Secrets Every Executive Should Know
Program Description: Risk
management is one of the key fiduciary duties association boards and staff
face. Many member and staff leaders think of risk only in terms of “financial”
elements. However, as associations grapple with competition for membership,
increasing expectations from corporate partners, cyber piracy, and other
challenges, risk management needs to be thought of more broadly.
The
balanced scorecard concept has been around for nearly 20 years – used primarily
to manage and improve performance. However, the concept can also be a helpful
in identifying and managing risks – considering the following perspectives:
- People: board directors, other member leaders, and employees
- Financial: membership dues, product/program/service revenue, corporate
support, and investment capital and income Goodwill: overall public reputation, stature within the industry or
profession, and working relationships with vendors and advocacy partners
- Property: buildings, equipment, technology, copyrights and trademarks
This session will provide guidance in implementing an
effective risk management strategy in attendees’ associations.
At this session, participants will:
- Identify and categorize the types of risks
associations typically face.
- Frame out a process for
improving risk management at their association, involving both the board and
staff.
- Convey to their board and staff leaders a format for
communicating progress on risk mitigation.
