LAAC is committed to providing safe, supportive, and enriching environments for youth participating in our programs and activities. An important part of that commitment is adhering to the Sorority’s established Risk Management policies, procedures, and guidelines.
​
Risk Management is the process of identifying and assessing potential risks and taking appropriate actions to minimize or prevent loss or harm associated with those risks. Within Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., Risk Management plays an essential role in protecting the youth we serve, our volunteers, our chapters, and the integrity of our programs.
