In-person Risk Management Institute Returns in 2022!

Good news if you’ve missed the camaraderie of our largest annual in-person training. Risk Management Institute (RMI) 2022 is back as a live event this year!

We’ll gather at Tinley Park Convention Center once again Nov.18 to welcome new attendees and loyal returning friends at our flagship training event. We’ll have entertainment, our CEO’s message, a keynote speaker, lunch, breakout sessions and — finally - the chance to network with other Members, share best practices…and simply catch up with each other after a two-year hiatus. We invite agency leadership and supervisory staff from all departments to join us. Watch for our email this fall with registration information!

Before and after RMI be sure to take advantage of these training opportunities. And since we’ll be updating our Training Calendar throughout the summer, check back regularly to see the additions. Right now, you can register for any of these professional development opportunities.

NOTE: Due to recent changes to both the Illinois indoor masking requirement and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention indoor masking guidance, wearing a mask or face covering is no longer required when attending in-person events, regardless of vaccination status. However, host facilities may have their own requirement(s), which we will communicate to you in advance, and all attendees are welcome to wear a mask/face covering if they choose to.
