​The Bedford Regional Water Authority (“Authority”) has received a 2015 Risk Management Performance Award from VML Insurance Programs (VMLIP). The authority was recognized Friday, May 15 at VMLIP’s 2015 Annual Meeting held in Glen Allen.

Each year, Risk Management Performance Awards are presented to members with a proactive risk management attitude and commitment, excellent loss experience and reporting time, or a significant improvement in their loss ratios. The purpose of the award is to encourage and recognize outstanding risk management performance.

“The Bedford Regional Water Authority places a priority on effective risk management and utilizes many resources offered by VMLIP,” said VMLIP Member Supervisory Board Chair John McCarthy. “They have worked closely with VMLIP staff to make safety improvements to the water treatment facility they inherited from the Town of Bedford and ensure the highest risk management standards.”

“Working to ensure the safety of our employees and our community’s water is a priority to the Authority,” said Bethany Shamblin, Authority Human Resources Manager. “We are always working on keeping our facilities and practices as safe as possible while also trying to stay one step ahead and prepare for potential future risks.”
