WEBINAR ANNOUNCEMENT

Recreational Immunity - Q & A

In Johnson v. Gibson, the Oregon Supreme Court held that individual government employees are not “owners” under the Oregon Public Use of Lands Act and are no longer protected by recreational use immunity. As a result, CIS expects to see a sharp increase in lawsuits filed directly against individual public employees who operate, maintain, or repair recreational areas.

Tune in to this important webinar for CIS’ recommendations on how to mitigate the new risks facing government entities involved in recreational properties — and how to protect your employees. CIS experts will also answer questions at the conclusion of the webinar.

SPEAKERS:

• * Kirk Mylander, CIS General Counsel
• * Scott Moss, CIS P/C Trust Director
• * Jim McWilliams, CIS Claims Manager

OUTLINE:

• * Recreational Immunity and the impact of the Court’s decision
• * Member facilities, deferred maintenance, and natural land

KEY RESULTS:
