2021 5% General Liability Credit for 2022/2023

 

2022-23 PACE Self- Assessment Tool

As a PACE member, your entity helps control insurance costs by jointly pooling resources with fellow members to self-insure property and liability insurance.  The PACE Risk Management Department’s primary mission is to support your loss control endeavors, thereby reducing both your costs and those to the risk pool in general, while helping to promote the safety and well-being of all stakeholders. The early detection and mitigation of potential risk is crucial to these efforts.

The PACE Risk Management Team has developed on a new toolkit, it will be called the PACE Self-Assessment Tool.  The new Self-Assessment Tool will provide information to the risk team to assist them in targeting their risk management efforts where help is needed.  As PACE members complete the tool in the insurance portal the risk team will track the answers and then follow up with the members that need assistance.
