11 a.m. PT, 2 p.m. ET (60 minutes)
When negotiating contracts, do you know when to name your organization as an additional insured on someone else’s policy? Are you aware of when another party should be named as an additional insured on yours?

Join Brian Johnson, Chief Underwriting Officer at Nonprofits Insurance Alliance, to get a better sense of what to notice when negotiating a contract. You will learn (1) what additional liability you’re accepting when adding an additional insured; (2) when you should be named as an additional insured versus adding your business partner [consultant, contractor, etc.] as an additional insured; and (3) the importance of reading and understanding certain provisions of the contracts you have with your business partners, including contracts with government entities and service providers.
