CIRA TV
Our on-demand source for risk management training and education is specific to public entity operations and is only available to CIRA members. One of the goals of CIRA TV is to remove the barriers that prevent staff from obtaining professional development. The most significant barriers are cost and finding a class that fits with your schedule. CIRA TV is available 24/7 and can be accessed from any computer or mobile device.
