Association Insurance FAQ
We have a General Liability policy. Do we still need Event Liability for our conference?
Often, yes. Your annual liability policy may not satisfy the venue’s specific additional insured requirements, or may not cover the scope of a large conference. A standalone Event Liability policy names the venue directly and is simpler to furnish on short notice. RVNA offers Event Liability through specialeventinsurance.com.
Does our association need D&O insurance if we’re all volunteers?
Yes. Absolutely. Volunteer board members are personally exposed to claims of mismanagement or wrongful decisions. D&O insurance protects their personal assets. Many potential board members won’t serve without it.
What does Event Cancellation insurance actually cover?
Event Cancellation Insurance from RVNA reimburses non-refundable expenses (deposits, printing, signage) when your event must be cancelled or postponed due to a covered cause such as severe weather, venue damage, or a natural disaster. It does not cover voluntary cancellations. Note: Event Cancellation must be purchased more than 3 days prior to the event. Read more about RVNA’s Event Cancellation Insurance.
How quickly can we get a certificate of insurance for our venue?
When you purchase from RVNA, a Certificate of Insurance is emailed instantly. When you click to Quote & Buy Online, you will have the opportunity to add one or multiple additional insureds. RVNA provides unlimited Additional Insureds free. Policy holders can also sign in 24/7 through RVNA’s online portal to add new additional insureds to their liability policy.
Can we cover our tradeshow exhibitors under our policy?
RVNA offers vendor liability insurance and single day or multiple-day event liability insurance through specialeventinsurance.com. Vendors can quote and buy online in minutes. Proof of insurance is emailed instantly. Vendors have the option to add your association as an additional insured during checkout. Many association agreements require exhibitors to carry this coverage. Tell your vendors to visit specialeventinsurance.com for affordable event liability insurance in minutes.
Is Crime/Bonding coverage required by our bylaws?
Many association bylaws, affiliation agreements, and grant funders require a fidelity bond or crime policy. RVNA’s coverage satisfies these requirements and protects your association’s funds from internal theft, which is more common in associations than most nonprofits realize.
