Title
Reviewing New Elements of Operational Risk and Preparing for the Unexpected
Presenters
Matt Lokan, Producer & Partner, Bliss Sequoia Insurance & Risk Advisors
Joe Poretto, VP, Sales & Marketing, First Nonprofit
The scale and scope of the pandemic has changed how nonprofit leaders need to be thinking about business continuity and addressing operational risks. During this session, we will review how risk management practices have changed and explore the potential fiscal impacts of those changes. Join us for this session to refresh your thinking and prepare for the unexpected related to the following areas:
- Cyber-attacks and securing your systems.
- Employment practices and executive liability.
- Ongoing unemployment considerations.
- Lasting impacts from wildfires.
Due to the increasing COVID-19 cases and rise of the Delta variant, this network session will be held virtually via Zoom.
