"The Top 10 List of Liability Risks Facing Christian Charities"- by Ken Hall
in Room in Room RCB5
This seminar provides Christian leaders with a framework for understanding the "nuts and bolts" of effective risk management, loss prevention and insurance protection for their organization's ministries, operations, programs and events. We will discuss how to implement sound practices and procedures that avoid unnecessary legal liability actions. Sample case studies will be included for risks such as physical and sexual abuse, sports and recreation, the use of your facilities by outside parties, directors' and officers' fiduciary duties, counselling services and much more. Each case will identify which organizations are most at risk and the potential type of liability protection available.

"Precious Cargo: Managing Transportation Risk" – by Ken Hall in Room RCB5
A recent multi-million dollar lawsuit against a Canadian church resulting from fatalities and permanent injuries suffered in an accident involving a personally-owned vehicle used to transport teenagers to a youth rally has once again exposed the potential risk for catastrophic consequences for any charity or non-profit that provides, coordinates or sponsors transportation. This workshop focuses on identifying and reducing the risk arising out of the operation of vehicles owned by charities, staff, members and volunteers used for charitable work. Included will be recommended minimum guidelines along with helpful insurance protection tips for the organization and its leaders.

"Protecting People Worldwide" – by Ken Hall in Room RCB5
This workshop provides an insurance and legal overview of the risks associated with Canadian charities involved in international missions, relief and development operations. It will focus on local churches engaged in short-term mission's trips using volunteers as well as large relief and development organizations with career missionaries
and permanent staff located in countries throughout the world. You will be introduced to best practices for protecting persons outside of Canada and to due diligence standards for reducing potential legal liability for global operations under a variety of categories, including liability risk, medical risk, security risk and political risk. A helpful checklist will be provided for charitable organizations with an international focus, and provide practical insurance and risk management tips to reduce the risk for your leaders, volunteers and operations overseas.
