Message to workshop graduates...

42 years managing risks taught me... "Risk taking is fun! If you're afraid to take risks, you'll be left behind! Poor Risk Managers should be fired first! Most risks can be managed! Risks are connected to your pocketbook! There are no silver bullets! No one has all the right answers! When you lose touch with the frontlines you lose your ability to lead! 

Growing up on a small farm, I also learned...  "When you hand someone a loaf of bread you feed them for a day; teach them to plant wheat and you'll feed them for a lifetime!"  If you're a member of the University of Wisconsin Risk Management Insurance Society, I pay you $20 an hour to teach me the latest in RM Methods.  

The Risk Management Learning Center is a Risk Management support center for educators and a community resource center for law enforcement, fire fighters, and other first responders during a disaster.
