Insurance costs, risk, funding, responsibilities and liabilities are all concerns that community organizations are managing today. For these organizations, many of them small, volunteer-led, not-for-profits, changing practices and implementing new policies and procedures can be challenging.
Board members need to be knowledgeable about their role as directors to ensure their organizations are accountable, transparent and managing the risks of their events and volunteers.
