Risk Management Is Not Just A Title

submitted by David Canady CNH District Risk Manager

Every club should have a dedicated person(s) to use Kiwanis International’s supplied Risk Management Information book Clubs, please go back and find that book you so carefully filed away at the beginning of the Kiwanis year It is a wonderful resource for every club sponsored event and project. Pages 17-20 provide a great step by step review of your project to help make you aware of possible safety concerns that could lead to an injury or loss Additionally, pages 21-23 provide risk management techniques to help your club reduce the possibility of a claim.

Having to use our Kiwanis International provided insurance should be our last resort. If we all take risk management seriously we can reduce our claims frequency and cost, which in turn should reduce our insurance cost This is one significant way our clubs can help hold down Kiwanis International expenses and the need for dues increases!
