Academy committees and task forces may occasionally engage in activity that could result in the initiation of a lawsuit against the Academy and/or its members. The Academy maintains liability insurance that covers all Academy officers, directors, members, and staff when engaged in Academy activities.

Additionally, Article 13 of the Academy bylaws provides for indemnification of Academy members against costs and expenses incurred in connection with the defense of a suit against such an individual arising out of Academy activities. Please familiarize yourself with the specific provisions of Article 13.

Finally, each member should consider purchasing liability insurance coverage that may be available through his or her employer to cover his or her activities on behalf of the Academy.
