There's still time to complete our brief engagement and outreach survey. Let us know how we can better engage with you, provide learning opportunities, and identify resources to help you better manage risks.

ORM's youth and volunteer programs team plans to host quarterly roundtable meetings for volunteer engagement professionals, beginning June 9 from 1-2 pm.

International travel registrations have increased nearly ten times since the beginning of 2022.

According to Shaun M. Jamieson, international risk manager, the increase may be attributed to both an expected increase in travel over the summer and the easing of pandemic restrictions.

The Electronic Data Processing (EDP) insurance program provides physical damage coverage for sensitive computer-related equipment and software. Examples of covered equipment include (but are not limited to):

We offer a blanket EDP policy, which means your department’s coverage is based on the EDP inventory you maintain. Provide us the total value of your EDP equipment and we’ll get you covered. Deductibles range from $500 to $50,000, each with its own rate. When you purchase additional equipment, update your inventory and work with us to make sure you have the coverage you need.

Additional renewal information will be going out in the next week to departmental EDP contacts. Pierce Zanders, insurance and risk analyst, will hold an informational session via Zoom Thursday, May 12, from 1 - 2:30 pm to answer your EDP questions.
