The County Risk Sharing Authority (CORSA), a risk-sharing pool designed for counties, has announced it received recognition from the Association of Governmental Risk Pools (AGRiP) for adopting industry best practices. Ottawa County Commissioner Mark Stahl currently serves as Board of Director.

“Receiving recognition from AGRIP is a true testament to the level of professionalism to which the CORSA board of directors and staff adhere,” said CORSA Managing Director John Brownlee. “I am extremely grateful to Commissioner Mark Stahl for his dedication to our board. This recognition would not have been possible without his hard work and expertise.”

CORSA is among a small percentage of the AGRIP membership that is able to meet the standards required to receive recognition.

The AGRiP Recognition requires pools to undergo a rigorous self-assessment to ensure pool operations meet professional standards and industry best practices. Any pool that meets the advisory standards is granted recognition for three years, helping assure its governing body and members are operating as effectively as they expect. Approximately a quarter of the 213 AGRiP members have achieved AGRiP Recognition.

CORSA is a member-owned property and liability risk sharing pool sponsored by the County Commissioners Association of Ohio. CORSA is governed by nine directors who are county commissioners from member counties and provides property and liability coverage as well as risk management services to 66 counties and 41 county-affiliated public entities.
