The Price of Leadership SPEAKER: Randy Anderson, CSP, Co-Founder and Independent Training Consultant, E3 Professional Trainers, LLC Leading is something that usually happens long before a person is granted a “position of authority.” Prior to becoming a manager or supervisor, leaders establish themselves as a person of influence, regardless of title. Being an effective leader, however, isn’t easy, and it comes at a cost. Anyone can make suggestions or complain about those that are above them but having the courage to make decisions that affect others and persevering through the frustrations and challenges to make a real difference is something not everyone is willing to do. In this session, attendees will learn the difference between influence and authority and how to maximize their impact through correctly utilizing both. ATTENDEE TAKEAWAYS: 1. Confront tendencies to manage when you should be leading, and be equipped to refocus on people and culture rather than tasks as often as possible 2. Learn an equation for building a legacy of leadership and the three keys to developing broader influence and impact with subordinates, peers, and even team members at a higher level within their organization 3. Incorporate a double-barreled approach of initiative and commitment to generate a higher level of employee engagement and empowerment

Cyber Security: More Than Insurance Coverage SPEAKER: Margaret Penado, CPCU, ARM-P, APA, Risk Manager, Coconino County, AZ Cyber security is today’s hot topic and rightly so. Rapid advancements in technology, computing power and data storage in the technological revolution have resulted in a heavy reliance upon the internet and computers in operations that has created vast cyber vulnerability. To protect against such losses and assure continuity of operations, any organization must take active and robust defense measures, and pre plan its mitigation and recovery efforts should they fall prey to a cyber attack. This webinar will explore current best practices to strengthen your organization’s cyber security, and your readiness to swiftly mitigate and respond to a cyber attack or breach should one occur. In addition, up for discussion will be the rising threat to critical infrastructure in cyber attacks and best practices in this area for defense and attack response readiness. ATTENDEE TAKEAWAYS: 1.

I Thought I Was an Additional Insured SPEAKER: David Parker, ARM-P, CPM, IPMA-SCP, Director, Enterprise Risk Management and Compliance, Pima Community College The day a large claim arrives and you discover you didn’t have the coverage or status you thought you had will not qualify as one of your better days. Don’t be surprised at one of those critical moments! Develop a process to ensure appropriate insurance requirements are included and you receive what parties agreed to. You also can’t do it all by yourself, which means training a team and managing COIs, not just filing them. Ensure that the words, “but I thought . . .” never apply to this topic. ATTENDEE TAKEAWAYS: 1. Develop contract language that leaves no doubt as to what is required and how it must be documented 2. Identify higher risk agreements and activities that require extra attention 3. Review options for actively managing COIs instead of just filing them
2. What training is recommended for staff to strengthen an entity against cyber attack? 3. What is the rising threat to critical infrastructure through cyber risk? 4. What can be done now to mitigate a cyber attack should one occur?
