AGRiP Governance Conference 2026

The AGRiP Governance Conference brings together pool governing body members and the staff who support them to learn, problem-solve, and connect in a collaborative environment. Attendees will build a network of trusted peers, gain practical guidance for questions unique to their pool, hear real examples from other pools, explore concepts shaping their roles, and connect with service providers. The conference features sessions spotlighting core governance concepts and the newest issues affecting pools. Topics include managing multi-year strategic priorities, navigating conflict styles in meetings, solving legacy challenges with data integration and insight, trends shaping health care costs in 2026, AI-powered cybersecurity for public entities, the impact of obesity and GLP-1 drugs on claims and costs, how public entities and pools can access opioid settlement money for risk management, communicating difficult rate increases and coverage changes, understanding the impact of rate or pricing decisions, using scenarios and stochastic models to ensure funding adequacy, auditing prescription drug costs and preventing pricing fraud, and how pools make a difference when public employees are severely injured at work. Keynote presentations will cover strategies to boost operational efficiency and manage different conflict styles in meetings and on work teams.
