Directors and Officers Liability and Insurance

This webinar covers Directors and Officers (D&O) liability and what every board member, executive and senior leader, and risk manager needs to know to protect themselves and their organization.

You’ll learn:

• Why D&O liability matters for nonprofit organizations and their leadership.

• Key fiduciary duties—Care, Loyalty, and Obedience—and how they translate into practical governance.

• Common claims and risks faced by boards, including employment practices, donor disputes, and third-party lawsuits.

• How D&O insurance works, including coverage types (Side A, B, and C) and what they mean for individuals and entities.

• Best practices for risk mitigation, governance, and compliance to safeguard your organization and its mission.

Real-world case studies will illustrate the financial and reputational impact of claims, and you’ll leave with actionable strategies to strengthen your board’s risk oversight.
