The URMIA National Office and leadership team have had a busy spring! We have hosted over 450 people at our regional conferences, where we brought excellence in risk management education and networking to Chicago, Tucson, Boston and Pittsburgh. We would like to thank each of our conference chairs and all our attendees who added so much to our regional conference conversations. Opportunities for networking, education and building your professional peer group: these are the heart of our in-person events. We also held a successful higher education risk management track at the Association of College and University Auditors' (ACUA) Mid-Year Conference in Austin, which welcomed 33 audit professionals. We are also looking forward to hosting a commuter conference on June 16 in Cincinnati. Read on to hear more about everything going on at URMIA this spring.

Each month, this article provides some of the latest risk management resources, as well as a calendar of upcoming events, webinars, conferences and other learning opportunities in which you or your campus colleagues may be interested.
Risk management resources
- Averted School Violence Near Miss Reporting System, Police Foundation. The Police Foundation recently launched the Averted School Violence Near Miss Reporting System (ASV) for law enforcement officials, school officials and mental health professionals with funding from the Community Oriented Policing Services. The mission of the ASV system is to share information about averted school violence incidents and lessons learned to improve school safety and help prevent future tragedies. Sharing a story is an anonymous, secure, non-punitive and confidential process.
- EH&S Reporting Survey Summary, URMIA. There was an active URMIAnetwork discussion at the end of April regarding the reporting relationship of EH&S on campus. Also, the 2015 URMIA Salary Survey shows the titles to whom risk management reports on Figure 13.
- ID Badge and Background Checks Policies Survey Results, URMIA. In March 2017, URMIA conducted a survey of its members to learn whether colleges and universities require identification document (ID) badges and background checks for contractors and visitors and, if so, the scope of the requirements.
- Higher Education Risk Graphic - Campus Map, Saul Ewing. If you need a compelling graphic that illustrates what a risk manager may worry about on a college campus, check out the Campus Map graphic halfway down this website.
