Larimer County risk manager Jeff Green honored as PRIMA Public Risk Manager of the Year
Summary
Risk manager Jeff Green received the national Public Risk Management Association (PRIMA) Public Risk Manager of the Year award; commissioners and county staff highlighted his mentorship, reduced worker compensation claims, and statewide and national leadership.
Jeff Green, Larimer County’s risk manager, accepted PRIMA’s Public Risk Manager of the Year award in recognition of work described by county staff as reducing workplace injuries and mentoring staff.
Lori Lopez, Larimer County finance director, introduced Green at the July 22 Board of County Commissioners meeting and said the award is national and that Green had been nominated by current and former employees. Lopez credited Green with mentoring staff who later became risk managers elsewhere.
Video excerpts shown at the meeting described Larimer County’s wide range of exposures, from wildfire and flood risk to building projects worth more than $130 million in recent years, and county officials said Green’s work has helped craft insurance requirements for solicitations and reduced claims. Colleagues and former staff praised Green’s mentorship and professional leadership in state associations.
Green said the recognition “reflects the incredible team I’m proud to be part of at Larimer County” and thanked internal and external partners. Commissioners praised Green’s steady counsel on claims and workers’ compensation and noted the county relies on his expertise during difficult decisions.
No formal board action was attached to the award presentation. Commissioners paused for a photo opportunity and to congratulate Green and his team.
Clarifying details: Green has worked at Larimer County for “a little over 17 years” (as stated at the meeting). Colleagues said recent county construction exceeded $130 million and that the county has fewer workers’ compensation claims than 15 years ago despite growth.
