MAFCA Provided Insurance
MAFCA provides General Liability as well as Directors and Officers Liability Insurances to Chapters, Regions and Special Interest Groups that are in good standing and located with United States and Canada. Although the Board of Directors’ desire and plan is to continue this coverage, future decisions on coverages and cost to the Chapters will have to be based on future insurance premium cost growth.
The Board of Directors encourages MAFCA chapters and members to participate with their Model A’s in normal car-related and chapter-related events that promote the Model A hobby. Plan your activities such as car games, etc., so that they will reduce the possibility of liability actions and help keep our insurance rates to a minimum. Be aware of safety at all times.
