Legal Issues in Managing Volunteers, Hartford Public Library

Presenters:
  • Peggy Webbe, Assistant Counsel, Otis Elevator Company

What is a volunteer? Are your staff members volunteers or employees? What laws apply and don’t apply to volunteers? Should you screen potential volunteers and how? When and how can a nonprofit organization be held liable for the negligent acts of its volunteers? Can your volunteers be sued? What procedures can reduce the risk of liability to your volunteers? This workshop addresses these, and other legal issues, related to volunteer program management.
