Risk Management: How to Safely Return to Travel

Facilitators: Mark Vermeal and Sam Daume, Fred C. Church Insurance

Many school administrators hope to get back to some sort of normalcy later this year. That may mean organizing travel programs for students and faculty. In this webinar, sponsored by Fred C. Church Insurance, we’ve invited a diverse panel to provide information and resources to administrators, so they can execute a risk assessment to determine when, how, and if to proceed with trip planning.

Sam Daume, Fred C. Church Insurance; Attorney Cathy Hansen-Stamp; ISOS medical expert Dr. Mark Fisher; and Henning Snyman, ISOS security expert, will cover various topics, including medical and security/evacuation considerations, liability, and insurance implications.

This webinar aims to have an open dialog about this topic with the attendees. The experts will share their knowledge and do their best to answer as many questions as possible, offering as much guidance as they can on this crucial decision school administrators will need to make.
