Core Values:

• We are stewards of public funds and act responsibly when it comes to financial decisions and accountability.
• We understand public entity risks and work hand-in-hand with our members on risk management and health promotion to reduce loss frequency and severity (which ultimately reduces the cost of coverage).
• We provide excellent member services and customized responses to our members’ needs, setting the standard that any other carrier would have to imitate.
• We act in an advisory capacity well beyond traditional insurance coverage as an extension of the members’ operations and staff.
• We have relationships with partners such as defense attorneys, experts, professional service providers, network providers, pharmacy benefit managers, and others to reduce the cost of services for our members.
• We help members implement risk management, loss prevention, and health promotion programs, which makes them better risk clients.
• We value long-term relationships with our members over short-term profitability.
• We provide networking and sharing of best practices between and among public entities, which helps make all public operations better.
• We participate in professional groups and associations to stay current on issues, understand changing public sector dynamics, and collaborate for improvements that benefit all public entities.
• We maintain focus on our core vision and mission to support local public entities in all our operations.
