Training Workshops

The following 5 Training Workshops form the building blocks for all training efforts.

meeting

Workshop #1: ‘The Primary Event Organizer Process’ (PEO Process)
Target Audience: Student leaders and students identified as the PEO for an Event (e.g. Club Presidents/Executive members; Residence Councils and RA’s).
Workshop is designed to:

  • Raise awareness levels on risk, negligence, accountability, and the importance of event planning
  • Introduce student leaders and PEO’s to the 3-step risk management process
  • Introduce basic event planning skills.

Workshop #2: ‘Event Planning’
Target Audience: Same as Workshop #1 above – i.e. anyone directly involved in planning and running an event.

The objective of this Workshop is to provide event planners with the necessary planning skills and tools to organize and implement safe events.
The Workshop is structured into 3 sections:

  • Event Assessment & Approval
  • Event Planning
  • Event Planning Resources
  • Importance of Checklists
    ‘Pre-Event’ Planning checklists
    ‘Day-of-Event’ checklists
    ‘Post Event’ checklists

Workshop #3: ‘PEO Process plus Event Planning’
This combination workshop allows participants to view both workshops consecutively.

Workshop #4: ‘Events – Let’s Get Real’
In this workshop,  a much more hard-hitting approach is adopted.  This ‘blunt’ approach may be needed for student event organizers who still ‘don’t get it’, and need an extra jolt of reality!

Workshop #5: ‘Events Risk Profile’
This workshop provides hands-on training on how to determine just how risky an event is.  By assigning values to ‘probability’ and ‘severity’, it is possible to calculate a risk rating for an event.  Does the event have too high a risk rating, and if yes, what are the options: cancel – or modify to make the risk more manageable?

In July of 2015 California State University, Chico had the opportunity to participate in Sport Risk’s new ‘Best Practices’ risk management review conducted by Ian McGregor & Associates. Ian is clearly one of the most knowledgable and experienced leaders in risk management practices and our institution was excited to be one of the first Universities to use this new evaluation process. 

 While evaluating our programs we found his work to be innovative, comprehensive, and easy to use throughout all aspects of our various recreation programs. Because of his outstanding work we are using the recommendations as a catalyst for program improvement.  Being able to contrast our practices with other NIRSA institutions is invaluable in bringing our programs to a higher standard of excellence. Without hesitation, I would recommend this process to any collegiate recreation program who is interested in current, state of the art, risk management practices. You will find Ian McGregor and Associates to be professional and cost effective in helping you meet your administrative responsibilities.
