Protecting volunteers requires the right combination of insurance coverage and risk management -- insurance designed specifically for volunteers, and a risk management system that is practical, appropriate and sustainable. In this Webinar, learn how to create that right combination for your organization. William Henry of Volunteers Insurance Service Association (VIS) will describe the three kinds of risk associated with volunteer engagement -- liability for injuring others or damaging their property, liability for vehicle accidents while volunteering, and the risk of injury to the volunteer -- and describe how to address those risks.
Learning takeaways --
- Why most nonprofit organizations are insuring volunteers the wrong way, and putting their organizations' own financial security at risk
- What the "L" word -- liability -- really means, and how it can be managed so it does not impede your mission
- Resources available to help you develop and sustain a practical risk management system
- How insuring volunteers the right way helps with recruiting and retaining good volunteers
