I give my consent to the Town of Addison, in conjunction with the Addison volunteer program to copyright, publish, use, sell, or assign any and all photographic portraits or pictures, television spots, movie films, videotapes, and/or sound records or any part thereof, that they may take or make of me during my work as a volunteer in which I may be included in whole or in part, whether separate from or in conjunction with, illustrative or written manner, story or news item, motion pictures, television or radio spots, or for publicity, advertising or any other lawful purpose whatsoever, in conjunction with my name or in anonymity.

Workers Compensation *
Volunteers are not employed by the Town in any capacity. Volunteers may donate time and service as a volunteer for the Town without any expectation of compensation. Volunteers are not paid and are generally not entitled to any benefits other than workers’ compensation insurance. Workers’ compensation is designed to cover the costs associated with injuries resulting from identifiable and specific accidents or injuries occurring during the course and scope of one’s employment. It is not designed to cover ordinary diseases of life. All employees and volunteers of the Town are covered by workers’ compensation insurance. Injuries not directly related to or caused by a specific accident or incident that occurred in the performance of the employee's job duties for the Town of Addison, injuries occurring while an employee or volunteer is working for an employer other than the Town, and/or injuries occurring during self-employment, are not covered under the Town’s workers’ compensation plan.
