Summary: Nonprofit organizations have a board of directors who are responsible for overseeing their business activities. When something goes wrong, board members and other officers may be held personally responsible and their resignation may not be enough!
Whether you run a family-owned business, charity group, religious or educational institution or community association, there are things you need to know when it comes to mitigating your exposure to risk. In this webinar, we cover:
- What directors’ and officers’ liability coverage is
- Why it is important for non-profit organizations to have this coverage
- A high-level overview of the claims process
- Some real-life claims examples
