A message for 3rd Year Students from - Rich
Woldt
Thank you for putting CUNA Management School on
your career path and my RM sessions on your
calendar. You're in your final year of what has
been a journey that tested your metal,
challenged your mind, and introduced you to a
cadre of experienced Risk Managers around the
world. You studied hard, learned much and are
now ready to take command.
This year we'll focus on taking command during
the next disaster, terrorist attack or large
scale crisis in your community. Some of you have
law enforcement or fire fighting experience,
so you'll quickly recognize the Incident Command
System we've adopted to the credit union
movement. Our goal is to foster public to
private and chapter to chapter partnerships that
will respond in a "unified" command the next
time disaster strikes.
- To take full advantage of our
time in the classroom, I want to benchmark your knowledge of
contingency planning and the
Incident Command System. This
quiz does not identify you but
rather provides me with an overall
class score so that I might focus on
information most important to your
class.
While on line, please
click here to
help me benchmark your class.
-
Our time
together this year will follow the
format of a summit so we can benefit
from our collective experiences
during Katrina. To give us a head
start, I'm asking all CUNA
Management School students and
graduates for their input prior to
class.
Please
click here to complete a short
survey of your
best and worst practices
during hurricane season 2004 and
2005.
Again, I'm not interested in
tracking who completed the survey.
But it would be interesting to know
your job title or position with the
credit union.
-
The day before class you'll receive
the results of your
3rd year class
benchmarking survey and
the CUNA Management School
Katrina" best
and worst practices survey.
-
The week
before class you'll be briefed on
the status of the most recent
Incident Command. (click
here)! Rich Woldt
-
We'll link you
to the Incident Command for the
latest critical incident.

Bay Wisconsin gas explosions

Southwest CUNA
Management School
Third Year "white papers" and handouts to
download before class:
-
No one has all the right answers
and there is no silver bullet.
To
successfully manage our risks we
need to sharing our experiences,
addressing our fears, and confront
our failures. Our time together in
class will take the form of a
"summit" rather than a lecture or
presentation. I wrote a Risk
Management "white paper" for your
third year class that summarizes
best practice I learned during my
research of disasters to include
hurricanes, tornados, wildfires, and
terrorist attacks.
Please
click here to
download my white paper
titled
"A Risk Management Perspective on
Katrina - Nine Months Later!
-
The 1/2 life of education is the time it
take for us to forget 1/2 of what we
learned. At my age that's about 10 days.
While I'm sure it's longer for most of
you, we want to make sure you're well
equipped to carry your newly found RM
wisdom home to your credit union and
credit union chapter. While we'll have
handouts available,
you can also
click here
to download the handouts
I plan to distribute during class.
Congratulations
Third Year Southwest CUNA Management School students.
I know how hard you've worked to reach
this point. Soon you will graduate and
take command of our future. I'm
confident our movement will be in good
hands. Thank you for making me
part of your success. I
look forward to meeting you all, sharing
my RM research and learning from your
class.
