An exception to this rule is made for an organization that normally has gross annual receipts (e.g., contributions, gifts, grants, dues, receipts from business activities) of < $25,000.

27. ASIS LIABILITY INSURANCE FORM

28. POLICY 4017: LIABILITY INSURANCE A certificate of insurance is issued annually in July to each domestic chapter. Chapter Resource CD has 2010 form. ASIS provides limited general liability insurance coverage to chapters at no cost as a safeguard for chapters conducting meetings and educational seminars, banquets, and similar activities. The premises that a chapter temporarily leases or occupies automatically become insuring locations. The general liability coverage described in this policy is limited. It is possible that the chapter may engage in activities that are beyond the scope of this coverage.

29. LIABILITY INSURANCE EXCLUSIONS Specifically excluded from coverage are exposures resulting in bodily injury or property damage from: With its own office. Involving any type of athletic event or exhibition. Sponsoring fireworks displays or musical concerts. Involving the use of watercraft or aircraft. Sponsoring or using any type of amusement or arcade ride. Sponsoring an event to which the public is admitted for a fee. (Personal and advertising injury liability are excluded here as well.) Other exclusions may apply. For clarification, the chapter should contact Novick Group listed on form.

30. Generally speaking, the serving of alcohol in a business or social setting is viewed as a covered activity under the host liquor liability coverage. If the state in which the chapter is located requires the chapter to become temporarily licensed to dispense liquor, the host liquor liability coverage may be inadequate. This coverage also may be inadequate if the chapter will serve or charge for the alcohol (either for admission or by the drink) or benefit financially from the sale of alcohol served by the chapter or others. Alcohol liability is rooted in common law principles of negligence and varies from state to state. See legal counsel for advice. CHAPTER HOST LIQUOR LIABILITY CHAPTER HOST LIQUOR LIABILITY

52. Fundraising ideas Golf Tournaments Seminars Barbecue / Chili Cook-offs Silent Auctions Raffles Law Enforcement Appreciation Events

53. Types of Events Fundraisers Seminars Awards Presentations Social & Networking Events
