With the approval of PDRMA’s Board of Directors, we’re introducing a new Risk Management Review (RMR) incentive funding formula for 2025 to 2027. The new formula includes adjustments to the incentive structure as well as the criteria.
 
“We carefully thought through our incentive funding,” explains Tim Lenac, PDRMA Risk Management Services Supervisor, “and we now have a formula that better balances member contributions and Risk Management Review achievements.” The changes generally align RMR incentive payments with each member’s total contribution.

“Long term, our goal is to ensure an agency’s total incentive award does not equal a substantial portion of, or exceed, the member’s annual contribution,” Lenac says, describing the 2025 formula as follows: 

• All members with a contribution of less than $150,000 can receive up to a maximum of $1,500. Some members’ incentive awards are also subject to a 25-percent incentive cap...

Having a successful RMR year and earning the largest incentive amount for which your agency qualifies comes down to following up on action items, having risk management programming in place and knowing — and meeting — 2025 deadlines.

PDRMA’s Risk Management Committee approved the following deadlines for the 2025 RMR:
