[Board] R: board budget 2018

[Angelos Tzotsos]

Hi Maria,

 From our Bylaws:

Section 13.7. Insurance. The corporation may purchase and maintain 
insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, 
member, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at 
the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent 
of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other 
enterprise against any liability asserted against him or her and 
incurred by him or her in any such capacity, or arising out of his or 
her status as such, whether or not the corporation would have the power 
to indemnify him or her against such liability under the provisions of 
this Article or of applicable law.

So far we have been covering only current board members.

Best,
Angelos
