Dawes County has received a $9,825 dividend check through its participation in the Nebraska Intergovernmental Risk Management Association (NIRMA) pooling program. The dividend was part of a $1,000,000 distribution shared with 95 eligible Nebraska counties and county- associated agencies who participate in the NIRMA II pool during NIRMA’s annual membership meeting on Oct. 24 in Kearney.
With this latest distribution, Dawes County’s own dividends from NIRMA have reached $259,815 in total since it joined in 1990. NIRMA issues dividends based on its strong financial standing, as aided by the members’ ongoing loss prevention efforts. This marks the 39th time since 1991 and the 30th consecutive year the program has been able to return funds.
