Volunteer work is an embodiment of personal values which is often not viewed as a professional service. It can, however, carry the same liability risks as professional work. More importantly, errors and oversights may occur more frequently in situations with remote delegation and a rotational leadership base. In addition, due to the employed and volunteer workforce within the organization, the exposures can include employment practices issues.
Unfortunately, trustees, directors and officers are targets of lawsuits. Since nonprofit organizations are seldom overstaffed or overfunded, personal responsibility, personal assets and professional reputation become a portion of the collateral in litigation.
Markel Shand provides coverage for directors, officers, volunteers, employees, as well as the entity. Contact your Markel Shand wholesale broker partner for more information.
