Serving Colorado's Counties
The Gunnison County meeting has been rescheduled for July 16, 2026. Please see updated details and registration link below.
CTSI is a nonprofit organization owned and operated by Colorado counties to support and administer the county self-insurance pools: the Colorado Counties Casualty & Property Pool (CAPP), County Workers’ Compensation Pool (CWCP), and County Health Pool (CHP). Together, we partner with counties to strengthen risk management, protect public resources, and support county employees statewide.
Designed to support both daily operations and long-term risk planning, CTSI's tools, programs, and services help counties stay protected and prepared.
This no-cost regional seminar provides practical, timely information about the legal, insurance, and risk management protections available to your county through pool membership. In today’s complex and evolving legal environment, staying informed is essential to safeguarding county assets, supporting employees, and maintaining public trust.
Join CTSI for this interactive session focused on real-world challenges and solutions that help counties operate with confidence.
