Directors and Officers Liability
As a director or officer of a non-profit organization, you may be held personally liable for things such as employee discrimination, wrongful dismissal, breach of fiduciary duties, mismanagement of funds as well as the enforcement of association regulations and bylaws. There are no deductibles applied to any D&O Claims
It has been traditionally believed that the Directors and Officers of non-profit organizations have little liability exposure for their activities or for
the decisions made on behalf of the organization. This is not the case, as evidenced by the increasing numbers of legal actions being brought
against directors and officers of non-profit organizations.
This coverage will pay for those covered losses where one or all of your Directors or Officers become legally obligated to pay as a result of any
error, breach of duty, neglect, omission or other act done or wrongfully attempted by them on behalf of your association.
The current version of the policy has the added benefit of having defense costs in addition to the limit of protection. This ensures that the level of protection isn’t eroded by the costs associated with defending the suit.
