Serving Colorado's Counties
Please join us in congratulating Marylin Wagner on her journey into retirement after working in the field of safety and loss control for 40 years. She was an integral part of CTSI for the past seven years, most recently serving as the Loss Control Team Lead since 2022. Marylin has been a member of the American Society of Safety Professionals (ASSP) since joining in 1981 as a college student. She also holds a Certified Safety Professional (CSP) designation and held the Certified Fire Protection Specialist (CFPS) designation from 2002-2022. Marylin graduated from Central Missouri State University with a degree in Industrial Safety Engineering.
Our Members benefited from Marylin’s certification as a MSHA trainer and CDOT Flagger instructor. She was an invaluable resource as the primary liaison for safety, loss control, and risk management advice. Many of our Members know Marylin for her dedication to making Colorado counties a safer place to work by helping establish safety committees and providing guidance on policies and best practices for day-to-day tasks. “Marylin was an excellent addition to the CTSI staff. She was extremely knowledgeable and had excellent customer service skills," shared Meredith Burcham, CTSI executive director. "Marylin was always willing to go the extra mile to assist our Members with their safety and risk management needs."
Marylin and husband Jon intend to travel in retirement, including trips this year to Canada and Germany. They also have plans for boating and fishing at the Lake of the Ozarks and exploring the back roads of our beautiful Colorado. When not traveling, Marylin aspires to revive an old love for golf and catch up on her long list of books to read.

Prior to that he served the Minnesota Department of Transportation as their Safety Administrator for more than 10 years, culminating in over 20 years of safety experience in state government. In addition, Steve previously served as the Loss Control Consultant for the Minnesota Counties Insurance Trust. We are confident that Steve will be a strong addition to CTSI as he assists our Members and provides extensive knowledge and experience in the field to our Loss Control department. You may contact Steve at (303) 861-0507 ext. 129, specharich@ctsi.org.
