The Riskies Awards, traditionally held as an in-person event, will take place this year through a series on online publications. While the format is different, the spirit and tradition of honoring outstanding members and students of the risk management community remains.

The Georgia State University Risk Management Foundation will announce the 2021 Riskies Awards winners on March 11, 2021 and will promote the awardees’ achievements and our sponsor’s generosity through the Department of Risk Management and Insurance’s website, newsletters, and social media channels.
