New Canaan is one of four CT towns to receive CIRMA Excellence in Risk Management Award

 Connecticut Interlocal Risk Management Agency, CIRMA, held its 42nd Annual Meeting of Members event on Friday, January 27, 2023, in the heart of Connecticut’s state capital.

The organization honored four Connecticut towns during the event as part of its Excellence in Risk Management Awards Ceremony. The awards program has honored risk management champions throughout the state for over four decades. Selected winners demonstrate thought leadership in risk management and personify the ingenuity, expertise, and tenacity required for long-term success.

CIRMA’s community of employees, members, and strategic business partners celebrated four accomplished member Towns: New Canaan, South Windsor, Windsor Locks, and Harwinton. The award recipients were recognized for their creative problem-solving, excellence in and commitment to risk management, and notable success in fostering long-term organizational change within their communities—each received a handsome crystal award and a $2,500 risk management grant from CIRMA.

“Our winners represent some of Connecticut’s best, brightest, and most devoted municipal leaders and teams. Risk Management is one of the core pillars of CIRMA’s Mission, and the Excellence in Risk Management Awards program allows us to honor CIRMA members who walk the talk. Each of our four deserving recipients embodies an unwavering commitment to building a safety culture and delivering meaningful and innovative risk management initiatives that protect the communities they serve,” David Demchak, CIRMA President and CEO lauded.

Introduced in 1982, the Excellence in Risk Management Awards program was designed to celebrate CIRMA member accomplishments while increasing awareness of the risk management discipline.
