Peter Garver of Ohio City would be a good person to ask about the LAB
insurance. I do know the LAB is going through some organizational changes.
In Salt Lake City, as a 501(c)(3), we joined our local non-profit
association (http://www.utahnonprofits.org/ ) and they had a recommended
insurance company that dealt with non-profits (
http://www.beehiveinsurance.com/). Our yearly rate is around $1,500.
If I were you (and assuming you are a non-profit) I would contact the
National Council of Non-Profits (
http://www.ncna.org/index.cfm?fuseaction=Page.viewPage&pageId=149) and see
what they would recommend. Otherwise you could contact Beehive Insurance
and ask who their underwriters are. All insurance companies have their own
insurance company called an underwriter. And chances are that underwriter
might insure a company local to you.
