Hi Sam, and others. <br><br>I would like to politely request that anyone sharing documents please consider contributing these docs to the <a href="http://www.bikecollectives.org/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page">bike collectives wiki</a>. Also, if you haven&#39;t been there, there&#39;s A TON of writing and documents that have already been posted. <br>
<br>I would totally recommend anyone who&#39;s interested in soaking up previous work in our field to check it out. It took me a few attempts to get to the meat of the content, but it&#39;s there. It will take some poking around on your part to find the good stuff. Like most of our work, the wiki is run by volunteers--mostly volunteers who are also on this list--and I&#39;m guessing you&#39;re all familiar with how busy volunteers are...<br>
<br>Anyway, check out this page:<br><br><a href="http://www.bikecollectives.org/wiki/index.php?title=Special:SpecialPages">http://www.bikecollectives.org/wiki/index.php?title=Special:SpecialPages</a><br><br>which has a bunch of links to pages sorted in different ways. (ie, long pages, short pages, old/new, etc.) An interesting and somewhat unique way to browse such a resource. <br>
<br>While I miss a lot of the dialogue from this list in years past, I am excited about some of the conversations that have been happening lately. Feels like our movement is growing up a little bit. Surely I&#39;m not the only one who feels like this?<br>

Yesterday I had the chance to meet with a lawyer to go over our<br>
insurance policy and to discuss liability waivers.  The Bozeman Bike<br>
Kitchen currently has a basic business coverage insurance which will<br>
cover the organization in the event of a lawsuit but does not cover us<br>
from injuries incurred on-site, does not cover the property itself,<br>
nor does it cover the board of directors.  I am looking for<br>
recommendations regarding types of insurance tailored for an<br>
organization like ours.  Particularly renters insurance (for our<br>
property) and Errors and Omissions insurance (for our board of<br>
directors).<br>
<br>
Secondly, our lawyer strongly recommended a series of liability<br>
waivers be added to our check-in and check-out process for both<br>
volunteers coming to work as well as for individuals receiving a<br>
bicycle.  We have begun work on a volunteer waiver but have nothing<br>
for a bicycle release waiver.  I am requesting to receive templates of<br>
these documents from other organizations.<br>
<br>
Please contact me off-list with recommendations and attachments.<br>
Please reply on-list with general statements that will benefit the<br>
entire group.<br>
<br>
Sincerely,<br>
Sam Haraldson<br>
