Organizational Structure (Refer to Bylaws Article 6)

• Director – Membership Programs Development
• Vice President – Membership Development
• Additional members (as needed for global representation)

Activities

Actions and Objectives

• Activities focus on promoting and furthering the interests of individual members worldwide. Membership development activities, programs, and outreaches target member retention, renewal, recruitment, and recognition.
• The Board will develop and establish adequate membership programs, working with the Director – Information Services Development to provide the electronic processes to implement these programs.

Concerns and Initiatives

• Suggestions can be ‘generated’ by anyone – from anywhere. To facilitate follow-through, the Director or a member of his/her Board will assume leadership for specific projects.

How to Make it Happen

• Whenever possible, target dates will be set, and the responsible individual will prepare periodic ‘update reports’ to the Vice President and Director (if appropriate). As needed, progress will be reported at BoG or OpCom meetings. (Reports will be submitted to the Vice President prior to these meetings.) When necessary, the Vice President shall ask the Director or member of his/her Board to provide informal input to the Management Retreat.
• To successfully fulfill its goals, the Board must work with and keep headquarters staff informed of its activities; particularly, the Executive Director, Marketing Manager, and Executive & Volunteer Services Senior Administrator. Each report prepared by members for Board of Governors meetings will be copied to headquarters staff.
