Save the Date for the Annual SERMA Conference!

The 2018 SERMA Conference is scheduled for Thursday, May 24, 2018.
Attendance at the annual conference has grown so much in recent years that planners had to find a new location. This year, the SERMA Conference will be held at the Boumi Shriner’s Temple located at 5050 King Avenue in Rosedale, MD.
Planning is currently under way for three separate tracks, to include:
  • Human Resources;
  • Health & Medical;
  • Safety & Risk Management.
More information, including registration information, will be posted on the SERMA Events page  as it becomes available.

Additionally, the SERMA Conference planning committee is now accepting nominations for the 2018 Governor’s and Risk Management Awards. Click here for information on the awards program or download a fillable nomination form here .
The deadline to submit nominations for awards is Tuesday, April 17, 2018 .
