Cuts
Begin Serious Budget
Cuts
Reality
Declining Membership– Declining Revenues– Declining influence in Boating Community– Future ??
Financial Reserves– Dangerously low– Will continue with decreasing membership
The Challenge
Turning Around Membership
Financial Stability– Growing membership– Increased educational sales
Paradigm shift – New USPS– New business model
Barriers
Changing Demographics– Aging membership– Different priorities
Changing Markets– Boating trends
Outdated USPS Structure– Slow response to changes
We Are Uniquely Complex
Governing Board– Only two meetings per year
Insufficient time to effectively examine details Slow response time
Operating Committee– Limited authority, dependent on GovBd approval– Meets regularly, but not empowered to act
We Need to Change
Why?– Current oversight system – not optimal
– OrganizationToo sluggish to respondStuck in pastNot in sync with new boatersLosing market recognitionToo many hurdles to make needed changes
The Corporate Model
Most Organizations use this model
– Shareholders or Stakeholders Elects the BoardApproves ResolutionsApproves Dues and Assessments
– BoardSets Vision and Direction Sets policy Conducts budgeting and Operational Review
Our Proposed Model
Governing Board (~ shareholders)
– Expanded to include Delegates
– Elects the National Board / Officers
– Votes on District Resolutions
– Votes on National By-Laws Changes
– Votes on National Dues, Assessments
Our Proposed Model
Board -reports to GB
– Consists of Nat’l Bridge & immediate P/C/C– Elected annually (by GB)
– Overall responsibility for USPS
– Creates/interprets policy under Bylaws
– Reviews operating budget
– Approves new products and programs
Examples of Board Actions
Education Waiver no HQ Roof Repair yes Raise Dues no USCG MOU yes Change Uniform no Creation of new courses yes
Our Proposed Model
Operating Committee -reports to Board
– Bridge, P/C/C– Chairs of Committees– Elected Annually (by GB)
– Supports Board (on-call, meet at GBs)
