Chapter Meeting

Chicago, Illinois

A Fireside Chat with the City of Chicago's Chief Risk Officer

April 25, 2023

This chapter meeting has passed.

Overview

The GARP Chicago Chapter’s spring event features a fireside chat with Stephen Skardon, Chief Risk Officer (CRO) for the City of Chicago, and Cary Lyne, GARP’s Chicago Regional Director and President of CJL Risk Enterprises.

The importance of having a Chief Risk Officer (CRO) continues to be a focal point for financial institutions and other firms globally. Of late, many government agencies and municipalities have also named CROs to help them identify, measure, and manage risks more formally and effectively. Join the GARP Chicago Chapter as we feature a discussion with the CRO of the third largest city in the United States. Topics of discussion will include:

  • The roles and responsibilities of Chicago’s CRO
  • The reporting relationships between the mayor and other constituencies
  • Budgeting a CRO’s time: financial vs non-financial risk
  • Insights and lessons learned into the evolving risks the city faced during the Covid pandemic
  • Insurance challenges and opportunities across various types of risk (operational, cyber, infrastructure, human error)
  • The importance of educating city employees, constituents, elected officials, and other stakeholders on the value of risk management
