Directors & Officers Liability

Directors & Officers Liability (also known as D&O) covers a 'breach of duty' or wrongful act allegations and lawsuits arising out of the managerial decisions of volunteer board members, officers, employees and the organization itself.

​

 These could include issues involving:

​

• Harassment, discrimination, wrongful termination or hostile work environment

• Failure to provide services

• Mismanagement of assets

• Unfair business practices

• Release of non-public information

• Negligent or wrongful acts in the management of the organization

Many nonprofits view D&O coverage as one of their most important coverage's. Damages recoverable from even a relatively small nonprofit organization can easily exceed the net worth of many individuals.
