Risk Management

With many associations relying on volunteers to deliver services, it’s important that you are able to effectively manage volunteers so that they remain dedicated to helping your association thrive and succeed.

UNDERSTANDING RISKS THAT MAY IMPACT YOUR ASSOCIATION
  • Association committees or Boards must grasp potential risks affecting association performance.
  • Ensure effective risk management strategies, policies, and plans are in place.
  • Confidence in managing legal or strategic risks is crucial.
  • Consider establishing a risk management subcommittee if resources allow.
  • Subcommittee should include a Board member and skilled association member representatives. Their role is to review supplier contracts, conduct due diligence, and offer recommendations based on risk assessments.

  • Accountabilities
  • Privacy Policy
  • Media Policy
