Online registration is now closed for the The Power of You seminars to be held throughout April.

The cancelation deadline for current registrants is April 8.
There is no fee for members to attend, but those registered who do not attend and did not notify of their change in plans before the cancelation deadline will be billed a $25 fee consistent with a policy of the NIRMA Board of Directors to cover incurred costs, unless waived for extenuating circumstances.

For any members who missed the registration deadline but would like to attend, please contact the office at 402.742.9220 or send an email to brandy@nirma.info to check for available seats.

The seminars will focus on how each individual, no matter their job position, can contribute to moving the risk management needle in a positive direction, and in doing so achieve an improved sense of personal fulfilment and a renewed energy in public service.

Rob Keith, a dynamic and well-respected mainstay speaker at NIRMA events, will be the keynote presenter guiding the way. He will team up with civil litigation attorney Jeff Kirkpatrick to impart practical guidance on individual First Amendment freedoms and how they impact county operations, including the Constitutional considerations involved in personnel decisions, conducting Open Meetings, handling public records requests, managing potential visits from so-called First Amendment Auditors, and navigating other day-to-day work challenges.

Mindful of how one’s work habits can impact their overall health and wellness, Hannah Guenther, Nebraska County Extension Educator, will add a critical component to the agenda with a session designed to help attendees recognize and overcome their stress triggers. Chad Engle, NIRMA Loss Prevention Manager, and Brandy Johnson, NIRMA Communication and Learning Manager, will also share their respective inside looks at how the assistance NIRMA provides can make a difference in members’ risk management efforts, including through Safety Committee activities and the ability to quickly access online resources. 

This seminar is open to all NIRMA member employees and officials. Morning and afternoon refreshments, as well as a buffet lunch, will be served on site at each of the five locations.

Up to 6.5 hours of continuing education credits are available for participating county attorneys, district court clerks, treasurers, certified law enforcement officers, dispatchers, assessors, and human resources personnel, along with a pending preapproval of credits for highway superintendents.
