The Society of Public Insurance Administrators of Ontario is comprised of persons representing governmental bodies who are responsible for risk and insurance administration.  While a number of its members are full-time insurance administrators or risk managers, for many members it is only one of several other duties they are required to perform.  Through regular workshops, the Society provides a means of hearing from experts in the various areas of risk and insurance management.  Just as importantly, it provides a means for public insurance administrators to have regular contact with their peers.

Over the years, the SPIAO Executive has been pleased to organize an opportunity to attend top-notch professional development sessions, network, participate in team-building exercises and be entertained – all under the backdrop of world-class conference resort facilities.  This three-day workshop is held annually in May and brings speakers from all fields of risk and insurance management, including brokers, underwriters, adjusters, risk managers, solicitors and consultants address the membership.  Topics covered include the review of the various types of insurance, fleet safety control, claims handling, risk management concepts, wrongful dismissal, civil law, self-insurance and insurance market trends.
