Compliance Coffee Talk

📆 August’s session with Maria is being rescheduled – RSVP to get the invite once we set a new date and time. 📆

When something goes sideways at a public agency, member services usually hears about it first — before it’s a claim, before it’s a contract dispute, before anyone’s called an attorney. It starts as a phone call from someone who’s stuck, confused, or about to sign something they shouldn’t. Maria Williams (GSRMA) has been picking up that call for years, across pools that together serve well over a thousand California public agencies — from cemetery districts to the state’s largest counties.

That gives her something nobody inside a single agency has: she’s watched your problem show up a dozens of times. In 30 minutes, we’ll get into what actually repeats across agencies, what’s changed in the last couple of years, where vendor onboarding and program upgrades tend to go sideways, and what she’s learned about getting risk, procurement, and operations pulling in the same direction. Bring your questions — and if you’ve ever wondered whether your situation is unusual, this is a good half hour to find out.
