Are you constantly putting out fires? Do you find yourself asking "there has got to be a better way?" Do you hope that a problem will just "go away"? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then you may want to take three hours out of your day and join Dina Bell-Laroche of the True Sport Secretariat and Rachel Corbett of the Centre for Sport and Law, and learn about how you can more proactively plan for and manage the risks that prevent you from achieving your corporate objectives. This seminar is offered to sport leaders who want to deepen their understanding of risk management principles and more importantly how they can employ a risk management lens when making decisions at all levels of their organizations.

The cost of this seminar is $40 per person.  Upon receiving your registration, Kim Cook will be contacting you for your payment information.
