22. Governance Policy Manual  Strategic Direction –Vision –Objectives  Strategic Initiatives of Board –Sub-Objectives

23. Means Policies  Define how SAE is to achieve its Vision and Objectives.  The following are key/recent Board actions affecting OBCs. –Top-Tier Measures –Diversity Acceleration –Information to Knowledge –Annual Nominating Committee Revisions

24. Board Top-Tier Measures  Constituent Satisfaction with SAE  Annual Membership in SAE –Membership within North America –Membership outside North America –Global Membership Retention Rate (%)  Unrestricted Net Assets  Innovation

25. Board Top-Tier Measures (Cont’d)  How does the Board use them? –Instruct relevant OBCs to include them in their annual report to the Board –Revisit them annually at the Long Range Planning Meeting in November/December to: Identify major areas of accomplishment or areas that need attention –Use as a communication tool Executive visits Leader seminar and orientations Annual report

26. Why Measures?  Assure organizational performance against all Objectives  Drive change towards new Board Objectives  Simplify the process for measuring performance  Provide clarity for the Board’s expectations  Provide opportunity for timely corrective action  Ensure Board is knowledgeable on SAE progress  Implement Total Quality principles  Encourage operating boards, committees, and staff to use measures

27. Constituent Satisfaction Index  Owned by the Quality Improvement Committee  Commissioned J. D. Powers & Associates to conduct a survey – Results were shared with the Board of Directors in November  CD with results of survey given to attendees of the Annual Leadership Seminar.

28. Constituent Satisfaction Index

29. Components of the Constituent Satisfaction Index  Member retention  Publication sales  Conference attendance  Exhibitor retention  Section satisfaction *  Student membership  SSA retention * Multi-Attribute Attitude Measure = importance x satisfaction x 11 attributes/275 (perfect score) * Benchmark: 36% = average satisfaction, 64% = above average, 100% = complete satisfaction
