Why VRSA?


Welcome to the Virginia Risk Sharing Association. We are here to protect our members, and their employees, so they can effectively serve their communities.

As a truly member-owned and governed organization, we are committed to providing stable rates and dependable coverages to ease members' worries.

All Your Needs Under One Roof

Our broadest protections cover a wide range of exposures, designed to give members peace of mind. In addition to providing coverage and managing claims, we offer unmatched training and education.

What Sets Us Apart

Our member relationship is distinct from that of a brokerage, agency, or other pools, to their customers and clients. We exist solely to serve our members.

  • Grants

    We distribute grants each year to assist members in preventing or reducing losses and for special educational endeavors aimed at broadening members’ understanding of governmental management.

  • Broadest Coverages

    We offer the broadest protections tailored to our members’ interests. With an average claim acceptance rate of 84 percent, we deliver on our promise to pay and provide budgetary protections that matter.

  • Cybersecurity

    We were the first Virginia pool to provide cyber protections as well as a cyber defense attorney to manage incidents. We offer a security self-assessment, sample incident response plans, training, and more.

  • Your Team

    Members are assigned a team to ensure familiarity. Our staff handles and manages claims, and our coverage specialists ensure proper protections are in place.
