Calendar

Wednesday, February 21, 2018, 1 p.m. – 5 p.m. (CST) In conjunction with the AAPLAC Conference
New Orleans, LA

The Standards of Good Practice workshop, with a focus on Health, Safety, Security and Risk Management (Standard 8) can provide you with the tools you need to do just that. After examining the data available (including The Forum’s Critical Incident Database), workshop participants will consider how this specific Standard works in conjunction with the other Standards to guide programs in developing a solid risk management plan. Participants will practice applying three different approaches to risk management as they discuss actual case studies from the field. This qualifies as a Forum Certification Workshop.

Facilitator: Mark Odenwelder (CEDEI)

Registration Deadline: February 2, 2018

• A group discount ($20/person) is offered to four or more paying workshop attendees from the same member institution/organization.
