    What sort of risk management tools are you looking for? These courses might be helpful if you're looking for cultural property protection information:https://museumtrainingresources.com/

    There's also this conference: https://natconf.si.edu

    best wishes,

    I think Diane's suggestion of the conference: https://natconf.si.edu is excellent.

    For training at the enterprise risk management level there are countless options. However, those enterprise-level systems have limited benefit for reducing direct risks to cultural property.

    For protection of cultural property from risks, such as damage, loss, or underutilization, the Museum Study courses are most relevant: Museum Study Assessing Risk to Cultural Property 1, Museum Study Assessing Risk to Cultural Property 2. Although these are not free, there are possibilities for grant support for registration. The level 1 course is being run next month. For general information on Museum Study courses go to: Museum Study online professional development - Home

    I will be happy to chat offline if you want help in deciding what level(s) of risk management you might be most interested in.

    Happy New Year,

    Rob
