Required by TML-IRP bylaws
BACKGROUND:
The Texas Municipal League Intergovernmental Risk Pool (Pool) provides the City of Paris
and other municipalities, housing authorities, and special districts with liability insurance and
risk management services. The Pool is governed by a board of trustees made up of persons
who are either an employee or official of the governing body of a Pool member. Nominees
for the board must be nominated by the governing body of the Pool member and then voted
upon by all Pool members. I have been involved with the Pool my entire career and worked
with the Pool to provide risk management training. I have a positive working relarionship
with many of the staff, including the Executive Director. The board meets quarterly and
travel expenses are paid for by the Pool. I have talked about the responsibilities of Trustees
with the Executive Director and current members of the Board and feel I would be able to
contribute to the success of the Pool. I would appreciate the opportunity to serve the Pool
and represent Paris on the board.
