'Tis the Season for Giving…and Applying!

By Melissa Cannon

With the Holidays right around the corner, we often take this time of year to reflect on ways we can give back. Now is the time to share your success stories of a newly implemented risk management initiative with other members by applying for the 2012 Innovation Award. 

Each year, the Fund has responded to member needs by giving back in the form of funds to support continuing risk management efforts. During the 2012 TASB Risk Management Fund Members’ Conference luncheon, held April 16, up to ten members will be honored for their innovative initiative, product, or program, and presented with a check for $1,000, a commemorative plaque, and the opportunity to share your idea with other Fund members. 

Visit the Fund’s Web Site for a complete list of eligibility and selection criteria and to download the application. Applications can be faxed to 800.580.6720, attention: RM Member Support Services c/o Innovation Award, or e-mailed to RMS.Training@tasb.org. All applications must be received by January 18, 2012 to be considered. Award recipients will be notified in mid-March.

For more information on the Innovation Award, contact Melissa Cannon at 800.482.7276, ext. 7245.
