  1. Restructuring the PSRC BOD Composition and Terms An Exercise in Succession Planning John M. Hughes, M Ed, RRT, AE-C, FAARC

  2. Perceptions and Observations • Difficulty in filling the ballot with candidates • “Steep learning curve” • “Thankless job filled with frustrations” • Many repeat servants – “good old boys” • Very few “fresh horses” • Marginal 1st year performance • Premature Burn-Out

  3. Rationale: • Loss of continuity and momentum • Loss of records and property • Loss of relationships and contacts

  4. Past Efforts - Orientation Meeting • Problems & Inadequacies • Costs - 12 or more • Limited value • Potential absences • New officers w/ unanswered questions

  5. Potential Leaders - Mismanaged • Want to do a good job • Wasted potential – lost to frustration • Poor stewardship of human resources • Mentorship: hit or miss

  6. Defining Observation… • President and Delegate – the most stable/functional officers • Groomed during “President-elect” and Junior Delegate service

  7. The Solution (10/06) • Build mentorship into each officer’s term • Created an “elect” year for each officer position except VP • Extended President to 2-years • Year 1 - President-elect • Year 2 & 3 - President • Year 4 - Past-president

  8. Treasurer • During 1st year a treasurer-elect is elected • During 2nd year serves as treasurer-elect • During 3rd & 4th years serves as treasurer • Total service = 3 years • During alternate years both attend BOD

  9. Secretary and District Directors • Same format as treasurer • Staggered in electoral plan • Newly elected every other year
