Prepare for Your 2025 RMR with Our January Webinar

Before you break out the New Year's party hats, remember to close the books on 2024 and prepare for 2025. We’ll help you with our Risk Management Review 2025 — 2027 webinar Thursday, Jan. 16, 2025, from 1 to 3 p.m.

Closing the Books on 2024

Those deadlines include completing their agency’s 2024 activities, self-review forms and all applicable SMART Goal Action Steps.

Lenac also reminds agencies they need to input all requested exposure data related to the Injury Prevention and Fleet forms into iLE by Jan. 10, 2025. They must also provide the following in their reports: 

  • SRA members — vehicle count and mileage for the last five years.
  • All other members — park operations head count for the last five years.

Looking Ahead to 2025

“The Risk Management Committee approved the Essentials of Risk Management Program Form for 2025,” Lenac explains, “so expect your Risk Management Consultant to include the form as part of your agency’s 2025 RMR which we will cover in your 2025 Kickoff Meeting.”

The Risk Management Committee and PDRMA’s Board of Directors also approved the 2025-2027 RMR financial incentive funding formula. Members whose annual contribution is more than $150,000 can earn a potential maximum incentive award of up to 1 percent of their annual contribution amount. All other members are eligible for up to a $1,500 maximum annual incentive. This incentive cap applies only to the RMR and Risk Management Grant and Recognition Program and excludes other PDRMA subsidies.

“We’ll discuss the 2025 RMR along with the new incentive program, metrics and criteria in our Jan. 16 webinar,” Lenac adds, “and we encourage all members to attend, so they can start the new year with a clear understanding and plan.”
