As I understand it, the main issue surrounds how the titles on these business cards interact with our liability insurance, since having specific titles increases the risk of volunteers being viewed as being staff members and hence us being more liable for their actions.
That doesn't make sense to me... being considered staff would generally give them greater protection under the insurance, which is a good thing. Whether you are a liable for their actions or not has nothing to do with insurance... Can you give an example of a situation where this would come up?
