The vote to indemnify is illegal .......... know your Roberts Rule and the rules concerning non profit 501 C 3-7 organizations. The vote to indemnify was there because of the notice of reservation of rights by the insurance company, but the board was not aware of that either. FACTS ARE STUBBORN THINGS! The board can only vote on what they know. Often they are put in a position to vote on something without time to understand the facts. That causes a lot of trouble. And, Molly is right, a club may not vote to indemnify people who are responsible for damages to the club. The insurance company is not liable for intentional acts by the insurred. That is why they "reserve their rights", and may deny damages if what is alleged is found to be an intentional act by some individuals. Law is simple. That is why I do it.
