New Insurance Offerings for Members Now Available

NEW YORK (Feb. 18, 2009) — The Public Relations Society of America (PRSA) announces a new member benefit that allows you to get the insurance coverage you need for you, your family and your business at preferred rates. The new program includes health, dental and life insurance for members or their families, and general liability, directors and officers, and errors and omissions insurance for your business. The general liability insurance also is available to Chapters for special events.

“PRSA is pleased to extend the insurance benefits program, which members may find cost-effective for their families and businesses,” said William Murray, PRSA president & COO. “We’ve made this available as a pass-through benefit for our members — so they’ll be getting the best deal the broker has available, with PRSA having no financial stake in the transaction.”

This new program replaces insurance programs previously available to PRSA members and Chapters. Members receive preferred rates through PRSA's insurance broker. Below is a sampling of products offered to members:

Health Insurance — covers medical and hospital expenses for individuals and organizations. Plans vary by state.
Dental — covers treatments and services, including orthodontics. Plans are available to corporations, individuals and their families.

Business Office Insurance — covers against “all risks” to the contents of your office, extra expenses incurred if you are unable to use your office space, as well as General Liability/Special Event Liability. Limits available up to $5 million.

Public Relations Professional Liability — protects your business from lawsuits against an error of omission. Limits available up to $5 million.

Cyber/Internet Liability — protects your intellectual property if your laptop computer is lost or stolen.
