Vernon Receives Rebate For Risk Management Efficiency

VERNON, CT — Vernon Mayor Daniel Champagne, municipal staffers and staff members of the local school system this week were presented with a check for $33,736 by the town's insurance carrier, the Connecticut Interlocal Risk Management Agency.

CIRMA is a not-for-profit, member-owned provider of liability insurance and risk management services for Vernon and other Connecticut municipalities, school districts, and local public agencies. The check was presented to Vernon as its pro-rated share of CIRMA’s members' equity distribution for 2022.

"In Vernon, risk management is part of our culture," Champagne said. "The health and safety of our residents and staff is always our top priority."

The on-going focus on risk management directly benefits our employees and taxpayers, Champagne said.

"Through our award-winning risk management program, we have established best practices that are employed across all our departments and are modeled by other municipalities throughout the state," Vernon Town Administrator and Emergency and Risk Management Director Michael Purcaro said.

He said the town of Vernon and Vernon Public Schools conduct regular health and safety as well as risk management meetings to protect residents, staff and community assets.
