11. Event Do’s…
Do’s Do share your draft contracts with your insurance broker to review the insurance provision and give you feedback. Do have your insurance broker confirm the extent of insurance coverage in place for all events and have them outline what types of events may not be covered. Do obtain certificates of insurance from all exhibitors and vendors naming your club and the national office as an additional insured with respect to the event(s). Do establish a contingency plan in tandem with the event venue(s) to be used in the case of a natural disaster. In the event of a claim, prompt and formal notice in very important. Notify your insurance broker and insurance carrier immediately

12. …And Don’ts
Don’ts
Don’t wait until the last minute to request a certificate from your insurance broker for an event where you have an executed contract.
Don’t agree to providing evidence of insurance coverage unless you have an executed contract AND confirmation that you have the proper insurance coverage in place.
Don’t agree to blanket wording within a contract that obligates your association’s insurance coverage to be primary. Primary language obligates your association’s coverage to step in even if the other party is negligent.
In the case of a potential cancellation of an event, do not make any commitments/decisions to cancel the event or refund exhibitor/registrant fees without first speaking with your insurance broker and/or insurance provider.
