Insurance costs, risk, funding, responsibilities, and liabilities are all concerns 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.
A “Cover Your Assets—Managing Your Organization’s Risk” seminar is being held at the Dryden fair grounds (multiplex building) on Saturday, March 24.
Registration is at 9:15 a.m., with the seminar running from 9:30 a.m.-4 p.m.
The seminar will give you a chance to discuss issues and challenges with other organizations, increase your knowledge, and give you practical tools to use in your organization.
The cost is $45 per person, or three for $100 if from the same organization. The fee includes resources materials, breaks, lunch, and informative speakers.
Pre-registration is necessary.
For more information, call 1-877-424-1300.
These topics will be of special interest to organizations that hold meetings and events, such as agricultural societies, horticultural societies, chambers of commerce, farmers’ markets, commodity groups, youth organizations, and community organizations.
All organizations are invited, and will find the information of interest.
