NFHS Liability Insurance

by

Hello All,

Per the discussion at last nights meeting pertaining to the NFHS Liability insurance policy. At the moment we have roughly 43 members interested in signing up. As a group submission, the fee will be $25 cash or paid to GTCCVO by check.  Please send your check to Loranne by mail ASAP or at the next chapter meeting.

Attached are informational links in case you are interested in learning more about this policy. For the members who were not in attendance. Please let me know ASAP if you are interested, I plan to submit our organization by Friday August 30th to ensure we are covered for the start of the season. If you have any additional questions please let me know.

Thanks!

Milan

NFHS Officials Insurance Coverage

by

You should have received and email from Bill Sinnings in regards to PIAA no longer insuring officials. It is now the responsibility of the individual or the chapter. I have information in regards to obtaining group insurance via National Federation of High School Association (NFHS). Attached are the requirements we must meet to be eligible along with what is covered in this plan. Our chapter would qualify for the plan that would cost $25 per member. We will discuss this at the chapter meeting on Sunday.

If possible, please take a few moments to review this information before the meeting.
