  1. USPS Restructuring Presented to: District Commanders & Executive Officers February 23, 2007

  2. The Reality Begin Serious Budget Cuts Begin Power of One Program

  3. Reality • Declining Membership • Declining Revenues • Declining influence in Boating Community • Future ?? • Financial Reserves • Dangerously low • Will continue with decreasing membership

  4. The Challenge • Turning Around Membership • Financial Stability • Growing membership • Increased educational sales • Paradigm shift – New USPS • New business model

  5. Barriers • Changing Demographics • Aging membership • Different priorities • Changing Markets • Boating trends • Outdated USPS Structure • Slow response to changes

  6. 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

  7. We Need to Change • Why? • Current oversight system – not optimal • Organization • Too sluggish to respond • Stuck in past • Not in sync with new boaters • Losing market recognition • Too many hurdles to make needed changes

  8. The Corporate Model • Most Organizations use this model • Shareholders or Stakeholders • Elects the Board • Approves Resolutions • Approves Dues and Assessments • Board • Sets Vision and Direction • Sets policy • Conducts budgeting and Operational Review

  9. 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

  10. 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

  11. 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

  12. 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) • Advice • Implementation

  13. Advantages • Streamlined structure • Board meets regularly • Can review & expedite decisions • Draws upon support only as needed • Responsible for implementation and results • Seize business opportunities • Reduced expense/quicker response • More efficient structure • Clear lines of authority and accountability

  14. Where to from Here? • Begin the discussion • Refine the approach • Vote to approve concept - Norfolk It’s time to get USPS growing again … … responsive approach … corporate business model
