Mission: The Global Risk Committee is the primary resource for GBTA and its members to educate and collaborate on integrating risk management into their organization’s travel and meetings programs.
Vision: Our vision is to enable organizations to keep their mobile workforce safe, secure, and healthy, empowering them to accomplish their objectives.
- Collect, maintain, and disseminate data and information pertaining to travel risk management.
- Collaborate and support GBTA membership and our global committees.
- Provide resources, guidance and expertise to facilitate the creation and development of travel risk management programs for GBTA membership.
- Educate and promote best practices in support of the health and safety of travelers.
Applications to serve on a Committee are accepted year-round and open to any GBTA member. Members serve 2-year terms running from Convention to Convention. Each Committee will be in contact shortly after an application is received. Based on the application, the Committee may either conduct an interview, hold the application or decline the applicant. Committees must maintain a 51% Direct Member and 49% Allied Member ratio. Fill out the committee application form below.
