The AVMA Trust has been serving the needs of AVMA members for over 60 years by providing access to personal and professional insurance solutions and risk-management resources. The AVMA Trust is also proud to support state VMAs and other AVMA-affiliated associations.
Insurance Coverage for Associations
The
AVMA Trust works with top-rated insurance carriers that understand the unique
risks of the association world. We provide access to essential coverages for
associations, including:
- Directors and Officers Liability: Management liability insurance covers exposures faced by
directors, officers, managers, and business entities that arise from
governance, finance, benefits, and management activities (also called
“executive liability insurance”).
- Event Liability and Cancellation: Event liability and cancellation insurance protects associations
and organizations against potential lawsuits from registrants, vendors, and
speakers. Coverage can include exhibitors as insureds so you do not have to
obtain a certificate of insurance from each exhibitor. Event liability
insurance is a cost-effective way to satisfy a venue’s insurance requirements.
- Data Breach & Cyber Liability: Data breach and cyber liability coverage responds
to loss, theft, accidental release, or accidental publication of personally
identifiable information (PII). A breach is defined as an event in which PII is
potentially put at risk – either in electronic or paper format. Personally
identifiable information includes full names, social security numbers, bank
account numbers, email addresses, driver’s license numbers, and credit/debit
card information.
- Commercial Property: Commercial property insurance protects your
association’s physical assets from unexpected disasters like fires, burst
pipes, storms, theft, and vandalism. Property includes the space that houses
your association as well as technology and equipment.
- Workers’ Compensation: Workers’ compensation coverage protects your
association and its employees in the event of on-the-job injuries. The AVMA
Trust’s plan also provides coverage for volunteers. If a volunteer or employee
is injured during association activities, workers’ compensation provides
essential financial support for medical treatment and subsequent care.
- Employment Practices Liability: Employment practices liability coverage responds to
allegations such as wrongful termination, discrimination, and sexual
harassment.
