| 9:00 - 10:30 am | Total Cost of Risk: How to Collect Data, Crunch the Numbers, and Communicate Cost of Risk to Others |
|
D. Jean Demchak Gary W. Langsdale |
||
In a difficult economic environment, higher education will be scrutinized for the true costs of all aspects of our business. As the Total Cost Of Risk (TCOR) gains acceptance as a benchmarking and communication tool, the need for standardization increases. The dynamics of the higher education industry, its unique exposures, and the diverse risk profile among institutions require a consistent approach reflecting these factors. This session will review the basics of TCOR, a tailored approach for higher education with case studies, and provide suggestions for communication with senior management. Takeaway: As a result of participating in this session, attendees will: Understand the basic tenants of TCOR, how to tailor for their institution, and how to use as a critical piece of communication with senior management. |

| 10:45 am - 12:00 pm | Hurricane Ike: Effective Risk Management at the Center of the Storm |
|
Phillip B. Dendy, CRM Paul D. Pousson, ARM |
||
Hurricanes Dolly and Gustav were the warm-up acts for the main attraction, Hurricane Ike. These storms wreaked havoc along the Texas coast in 2008 from Beaumont to Brownsville. Hurricane Ike made landfall on September 12, 2008, at Galveston Island, causing massive destruction, and it will have long lasting effects on local communities. Of the 15 institutions in the University of Texas System, eight institutions had direct physical losses resulting from these storms, and all were involved in some manner in emergency response, mutual aid, evacuation and sheltering, or other support activities. The magnitude of these storms, particularly Hurricane Ike, has impacted almost every program administered by the Office of Risk Management. Phil Dendy and Paul Pousson will discuss all the activities surrounding the storms including planning, drills, mutual aid agreements, disaster response contracts, coordination with local and state jurisdictions, evacuation, recovery operations, insurance, FEMA, and long-term strategies. |

International Exposures: “We’re covered.” But how many times are we covered? Is it all covered? Join us as we explore the various methods of covering international exposures. Learn how to identify overlapping coverages as well as critical gaps in international exposure coverage. We will also explore the various methods of traveler assistance and evacuation available in the marketplace. The pros and cons and compliance implications of each technique will be discussed. |
