PTA Member Benefits
PTA Member Benefits Include:
AIM (Association Insurance Management)
AIM understands the risks that are involved in running your PTA and has discounted insurance policies to protect against those risks. Helping PTA's now for over 15 years, AIM has specialized themselves in the PTA marketplace. With over 8,000 parent teacher groups insured, they have developed liability policies which offer protection where you need it at special discounts only available to PTA units. PTA members can benefit from the policies that AIM offers including:
- General Liability
- Bonding
- Property Coverage (fundraising merchandise)
- Officers Liability
Outside of being just another insurance carrier, they have centered their business around PTAs, the client, by redefining their services. Some of these changes include:
- Having someone to answer your questions from 7am-7pm central time
- Making applications available to purchase insurance online with a check or credit card
- Adding additional insureds to your policy at no extra charge
- Putting together a Risk Management Guide for you to download online
- Expanding their lists of covered events and more
For more information about AIM and what services and discounts they can provide to states and local units, simply call them at 1-800-876-4044 or visit their website.
