Grounded in The Gallagher Way—a guiding philosophy rooted in ethics, teamwork, and long-term relationships—Gallagher stands out as a partner dedicated to supporting resilient, high-performing educational environments.
“We are proud to welcome Gallagher as an Affinity Partner in our Corporate Alliance Partnership program,” says Jim Rowan, CAE, SFO, ASBO International’s Executive Director. “Gallagher’s commitment to values-based service and solution-focused expertise—hallmarks of The Gallagher Way making them a respected presence in the Public Sector, K-12 community, and beyond.”
With this new partnership, ASBO International members can expect enriched access to trusted expertise, resources, and innovative strategies that align with their mission to serve students and communities effectively.
“With cyber risks growing in scale and frequency it is more important than ever for school districts to have the appropriate risk management measures in place to ensure they are protected from unscrupulous cyber criminals,” said Johnty Mongan, Global Head of Cyber Risk Management at Gallagher. “Unfortunately, school districts are a prime target for these criminals, and the sector is the third most targeted industry globally with the United States at the forefront of cyberthreat activity. The Cyber Defense Center provides tools and services for school districts who want to take a proactive and continuous approach to managing their cyber risk. It includes access to cyber risk specialists and offensive security technology to help defend education organizations against cyber incidents, significantly reducing their risk.”
