Numerous Oregon trade associations have taken advantage of the benefits that flow from sponsoring membership in one of the trusts managed by Empire Pacific Risk Management. A core reason often sited is that the trusts operate as membership organizations that mirror the benefit and membership growth goals of the association. It's no secret that providing added value is key to new member growth and essential to membership retention. Trust sponsorship brings an association a full range of administrative and financial rewards to increase the value of membership.

Helping your members manage their workers' compensation costs and getting their injured employees back to work wins respect and member allegiance every time. Empire Pacific's programs will give your members access to a workers' compensation system with features not available elsewhere in Oregon. The trusts we manage are owned and governed by the employer members. Giving employers control is just one of the measurable gains that start from the very first day.
