National Insurance Program and AuditorInsuranceNational CASA regularly seeks ways to reduce costs for local chapters so that they can increase the number of children they serve. One of the areas we have looked at often over the years is insurance. We are happy to tell you that we have identified a promising opportunity for both directors and officers and general liability insurance coverage. Sprague Israel Giles, Inc., offers coverage for you, our member programs. As referenced in our standards, it is extremely important to have a well thought out risk management plan, including adequate insurance coverage to protect staff, agency and the board.
