We will identify key individuals who see risk differently and resolve risk-related problems in a unique or innovative way. Qualifying individuals view risk not only as a threat, but also as an opportunity for their organizations. The Risk Innovator^TM Award will recognize up to 40 individuals in 20 different categories. From these winners, up to eight individuals will be chosen for the Responsibility Leader® designation, sponsored by Liberty Mutual.
