San Francisco, California, Job Summary  You can have a direct impact on the number of lives saved with this COVID containment effort by identifying insurance carriers who will insure frontline RVs being loaned at an affordable rate.  You can do this by finding insurance carriers on a state or regional basis who will insure RVs being loaned to help COVID workers on a not-for-profit basis.  Other related risk management projects are available, depending on availability. Secondarily, if desired, you can have a role in further identifying and managing other risks.  / Insurance should be our last resort to mitigating an incurred loss.
