[Board] board budget 2018

Jeff,

That may be true. Whenever I've renewed I've had to supply the board members lists so I assumed that’s all that were covered. You may be correct. I just don't know.

    I was involved when this was implemented (insurance for all Board

    This is the first I have heard of officers not being covered, which in 
    fact the insurance we pay for handles.
    
    I believe the actual D&O Insurance files live on Dropbox (I still don't 
    have access), but I am sure they will also clearly state that our 
    existing insurance covers all Board members, officers, trustees, and 
    employees.
