Message-ID: <4A413C4F.4050705@wi.rr.com> Date: Tue, 23 Jun 2009 15:34:23 -0500 From: Vern Magee <vmagee@wi.rr.com> Subject: Directors and Officers Insurance
I would like information from any local museums that have Directors and
Officers (D & 0) insurance. Do you have a rider on your regular
insurance or is a separate policy? I would also be interested in the
cost of such insurance. Is anyone insured with the same company as
your municipality? We have been advised to have this and I am trying to
get some idea of the cost that we might incur annually for this.
Vern Magee, President
Geneva Lake Museum

and how accurate their grandparents had to be when writing a letter (nob

photo of a local business office showing a typewriter would make it educa

While they’re handling, of course, we’re hoping they’re listeningt
