While this summer will give many the long-awaited opportunity to (hopefully) return to normal, the directors and officers market has been red hot with market changes and premium increases. Some carriers are reducing their available coverages, increasing rates, adding new exclusions and becoming more selective in the types of organizations they are willing to insure. USLI has been specializing in the nonprofit sector for over 25 years and has continued to provide stable, market-leading coverage, service and value to our policyholders and our agent/broker partners throughout these challenging times. Join us for a brief discussion of what we’re seeing in the market, where we are seeing success, and more importantly, how we can help your nonprofit clients spend more time carrying out their mission and less time worrying about whether they are properly protected.
