Kiwanis International clubs meet to plan service projects and fundraisers, conduct club business and socialize. During the COVID-19 pandemic, most clubs have been able to continue those activities through virtual meetings. As more clubs resume in-person meetings, Kiwanis International compiled guidelines for clubs and districts to help members serve safely with adequate health protocols:
“The exclusion is becoming a standard clause in new and updated policies,” said David Kress, general counsel of Kiwanis International. “This was not a change made by Kiwanis International. It is a universal change by our insurance companies applying to all companies following insurance industry standards.”
The updated Kiwanis insurance policy does not cover any losses from events that are canceled as a result of the coronavirus. For expenses to be reimbursed, a club would have had to buy a “special events” policy on its own. Kress said many of those policies now exclude financial losses due to the coronavirus, as well.
If you have any questions about the insurance policies that cover Kiwanis clubs, send them to riskmgmt@kiwanis.org.
It’s a Kiwanis vacation!
