AIS: How does your local society handle insurance?

From: Gerry Snyder <gcsnyd@loop.com>

One thing the AIS does for the local societies, at least for some of
them, is to help with insurance for meetings, shows, sales, and perhaps
other events.

Many hosting venues require proof of insurance. This is supplied for
free.

Others go one step further and require to be named as a
co-something-or-other, and for this there is a $50/day charge.

Some clubs do not use this service because the insurance does not cover
non-AIS members (although legal and professional advice indicates that
individuals are not likely to be at risk of suits).

Another problem is that some malls are starting to require $5,000,000 in
insurance, which is more than the AIS policy covers.

The AIS Insurance Chair, Michelle Snyder, (a good friend of mine ;-) has
little visibility into how many clubs are doing things which way (AIS
only, no AIS, combo). She and the AIS want to be useful, but information
is needed. If a lot of clubs are running into the high $$ requirement,
she will try to increase the AIS coverage; but if it is a rare problem
it's probably not worthwhile.

I hope to get a mailing out to the presidents of the locals to ask this
question, but in case I don't make it, I would find it very useful if
each of you who is active in a local society could tell me (off-list
preferable, if I get as many responses as hoped for) how y'all do it.

Looking forward to your inputs,

Gerry
