PAPS Posted October 18, 2021 at 03:20 PM Report Share Posted October 18, 2021 at 03:20 PM Good morning, As I am working to clean up our present By-laws, I see no where that our Officers/Board Members are insured/indemnified from liability. In this case, does this mean any legal litigation against officers or board members will be at their own personal risk & expense? While we are a very small club and no history of litigation has been held against in the past has ever occurred. It is my understanding any action made by the Officers/Board could be subject to legal actions as representatives. Thank you for any words of advice, Amy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PAPS Posted October 25, 2021 at 06:13 PM Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2021 at 06:13 PM FYI......This is what the American Kennel Club is recommending - https://images.akc.org/pdf/ACINS1.pdf I did follow up and depending on your personal homeowners insurance there is liability coverage for volunteer work in a not-for-profit if you hold an elected office. Here's another insurance company that specializes in Dog Affiliated clubs as well - https://www.rvnuccio.com/nonprofit-insurance/akc/ Amy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
