Led by OMAG, this program equips City Councils with the essential tools and training to govern effectively, reduce risk, and support a sustainable future.
Well-managed cities and towns experience fewer claims, and when claims do occur, their costs are significantly lower. This preserves the financial strength of the risk pool for all members.
It is not just about training. It is about protecting the city, supporting good governance, and reducing liability and financial risk. These are the three pillars of the program.
