The Public Entity Risk Institute will soon see with new eyes. The organization, which has long provided risk management resources geared toward public entities, small businesses, and nonprofits, announced Monday that it will shift its focus to direct funding of public risk management efforts.
“This operational shift helps PERI meet its core mission to offer practical enhancement of public risk management by directing efforts and funds to exactly the level where they can be most useful,” PERI Board Chair Deb Carson stated in a news release.
According to the news release, the organization's staff and existing structure will be dismantled while the bookstore, resource library, and Web site will remain.
