Q: What is the liability insurance coverage for my organization?

A:  Participating organizations are covered with primary general liability insurance. This liability policy is primary for a participating organization except on automobiles or watercraft owned or used by the participating organization. Then the general liability policy provides excess coverage. A participating organization is defined as its board of directors and/or trustees, its officers and employees, in their official and individual capacity.
