Session 1	Session 2
Insurance: A deep dive into the details	Effectively Managing Your Role as a Volunteer Strata Council Member
What must strata corporations insure? What are the minimum values? What are the real risks? What is optional but essential? Who decides if you don’t insure options? Does a risk management process reduce the impact of rising costs & deductibles? How do we access our claims history? How are claims activated by named insureds? Who pays the deductible? Do we need a bylaw for deductibles and damages? If we levy for a large deductible caused by an owner or tenant, what happens if that amount is eventually collected? Is it returned to the levied owners or become part of the strata revenue?	How do we determine the roles and responsibilities of council members? Do any council members have special designated decision making authority? What is our liability as council members? What is the extent and type of insurance coverage for volunteer council members? What types of decisions require a vote of council? How do we execute decisions, record them and notify owners of our actions? Who decides if a matter is an emergency expense and allocated to the budget or reserve fund? What are the types of bylaws essential for the strata council to easily operate and manage any type of size of strata corporation?
