| To qualify for coverage by MSU
liability insurance, the activity must be related to the conduct of
programming for MSUE. The staff member submits the service as a job
activity and if approved is protected should a lawsuit arise as a
result of involvement on an approved board or committee. An incident
report should be completed and submitted whenever a
liability/negligence issue and or a lawsuit appears likely. |

Boards and Committees List on file for staff in the county on an annual
basis from their regional director (see Boards

their unit.

for the group or organization.

activity as a work related responsibility by initialing the form.
