Default RE: Is the AMA wasting $$$ on liability insurance for chartered club officers?

Thats exactly why this law was created :

to
....protect people administering organizations in good faith.

Without them they might not exist.

I served on the board of my club as well , and am safety officer in another,
I feel no pressure of "liability" on my shoulders knowing this law exists for my protection.

So if the protection already exists why spend more AMA $$$ to get the same protection.?

If the officers are found to be acting "in good faith" their covered, if not they are in big trouble,
and no "extra" insurance is going to save them.

(((("I trust my fellow RC pilots will band together to take the appropiate action."))))

I found this to be true also, but only when everyone gets to hear both sides of a story.
Remember you don't have control of your newsletter, club membership list, phone numbers
and addresses to get the word out, somebody else does. "access denied".....
And this scenario goes for any club. Internal Lawsuit situations can usually be headed off
by the cooler heads of the membership as a whole by simply voting on the issue.
