COLLABORATIVE CONFERENCE

CANCELLED

Due to the effects of the Coronavirus, Penn Medicine has cancelled all travel for their employees and staff as well as cancelled all conferences through May. Therefore, ACHRM is forced to cancel and reschedule our National Schools and Municipalities Conference scheduled for May 14-15, 2020 at Penn Medicine.  If you are interested in attending the conference or learning more about the conference, please let us know by sharing your information here.

In lieu of this news, we are planning a webinar-based, abbreviated version of our conference sessions and will provide more information as planning progresses.

To kick off our efforts, ACHRM is hosting our first webinar on Tuesday, March 17th 11:00aET-11:30aET.

Join us for "Is Your Risk Management Ready for Our New (C-Virus) Economy?", where employers will learn what we are hearing from the field, how to prepare, and how to properly assess risks:

• Supply chain disruptions
• Absenteeism
• Revisions to strategic planning and budgeting
• Work force or labor shortages
• Changes in customer purchasing behavior
• AND MUCH MORE!

SIGN UP!

Objectives:

• Present thought provoking questions to consider when evaluating your organization's Risk Management Strategy
• Identify gaps in your strategy and develop strategies to fill

While we are disappointed to cancel, the health and safety of the public, including our conference speakers and attendees, is top regard. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience. We hope you will join us for our upcoming webinars and we will share more information on the webinars and future conference date as details develop.
