Meet Your Board

The 10-member board of trustees represent the pool members and shape the ICRMP program. A county commissioner from each region of Idaho is elected by the counties to serve on the ICRMP board. The counties also elect a commissioner at large. The Idaho Sheriffs Association appoints a representative to serve as ex-officio member. Cities and special purpose districts are represented by electing one of two regional representatives.

ICRMP Board Members

Who We Are

ICRMP is a member-owned local government risk pool providing members with a stable source of property and casualty insurance, risk management training and loss control advice.

Financial stability, controlling claims costs and adapting to Idaho local governments' specific risk management needs are what ICRMP seeks to achieve through the program's mission.

• Financial stability for the program means the ability to pay claim obligations in a volatile risk environment. ICRMP submits itself to regulation by the State Department of Insurance to help ensure this goal is met and the ICRMP Board of Trustees review and approve an annual internal audit and quarterly actuarial analysis.
  
  
• The cost of insurance coverage and risk management services are a significant consideration for ICRMP members and are critical concerns in every decision the program makes.
  
  
• Preventing and reducing loss is the most important element of controlling program costs and is a primary focus of the board and staff efforts.

Governing Documents

ICRMP is organized through a Joint Powers Agreement (JPA) under which members join with one another, elect a Board of Trustees, and share governance of their program.

CLAIMS TEAM, Randall Spencer and George Blickenstaff, handle ICRMP's most complex losses. George lives in Kellogg and provides claim services to our members in the northern part of the state, while Randall handles southern Idaho claims. Carol Lukesh, Mildred Gharring, and Kim Shoen handle a wide variety of claims and serve ICRMP members throughout the state. All ICRMP claim staff has extensive experience and training in the areas of insurance claims, local government operations, and conflict resolution. These professionals are trained to pay what is owed quickly and fairly and to support our members in defending claims brought without merit.

MEMBER SERVICES TEAM, Shery Harmon, Leona Kuwana, Moriah O'Kelley and Karen Tanner, are the "first responders" for our members, agents, Board, and the other ICRMP staff members. The MS Team establishes e-files and directs all incoming phone calls, emails, letters, and faxes. The team is the "coordination and dispatch" center for ICRMP. Although each team member has an area of expertise, this group functions as a team to make sure every inquiry made to ICRMP is responded to in a timely manner and each department has strong internal support.
