She believes team members who get hurt or ill at work ought to be reminded they are still part of a team, or a work family. Brenda Cogdell is the real deal! She happily shares her expertise and encourages young professionals to take advantage of all resources and mentors along their career journey. Some of the organizations we discuss in the episode include: Risk and Insurance Management Society (RIMS) https://www.rims.org/Public Risk Management Association (PRIMA)https://primacentral.org/Thank you for all you do Brenda!
