<div dir="ltr">Dear Ms. Courtney,<div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Until you start following MCPB policy, liability coverage isn't going</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>to happen. I'm talking about your screening process. Something that</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>should include psychological testing. Especially for management. Mr. </div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Coate slipped through the cracks. For seven years. While your net</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>assets withered away to what they are today. Because you couldn't</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>follow policy.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Anyone in your organization's management should be tested. That </div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>includes those who give you legal advice. Until that happens, you're</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>not going to have any liability coverage. And neither will your fellow</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>fellow board members.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>If you're up for reasonable inquiry, you can get more information here:</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><a href="http://www.nationalservice.gov/sites/default/files/resource/r3300-staff-screening-tool-kit.pdf" target="_blank">http://www.nationalservice.gov/sites/default/files/resource/r3300-staff-screening-tool-kit.pdf</a></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Otherwise you can continue relying on Mr. Coate.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Sincerely,</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Scott M.
