Well said @9supratt4 I was hoping you would join this.
NJRC there is a professional insurance broker and a professional attorney. In this thread laying out the needs and future of this club
i know the club is hurting without events the past two years. But has mentioned by @9supratt4. I have been hesitant to host any club events during COVID due to the risk of suit if a member got COVID at an event and also because of the issue mentioned if someone got injured at an event.
I do believe the club needs to be run like a non profit organization and not a club. I lost my wing man last year to Florida. @Trio91 !! But if we are to continue we have to legitimize the club and go back to our roots
first order of business for me will be to budget and acquire this D&O insurance. For my current and all future BODs The G/L insurance can be cut one of two ways.
1. carried by the club and cost passed on to members
2. Each host sign a waiver to the club that indemnifies the club from any situations at the meet.
lastly and most importantly. We have always heard and been compared to Manhattan reefs and reef2reef. But we are not them. They are for profit and are motivated by dollars. So they focus on vendors and just let the community come to them.
we are the opposite we are member focused and looking for people to join who want to conserve and educate on saltwater. Therefore we tend to side with our members over vendors. This has cost us in the long run. Because we need vendor support. But More importantly we need our members support!!!!
we lost our way njrc we need to get back to it.
let’s do it!!!
