Current Governance Model ChallengesNational Directors in Attendance
Challenges Continued National Director Vacant Positions with no Nominee: 2015 – 28 (13%) 2016 – 28 (13%) 2017 – 36 (17%)
How Do We Overcome the Challenges? Create a new Governance Model Develop process to elect delegates instead of National Directors from the 17 regions Develop process to appoint Region Presidents to Navy League Board Change bylaws to institutionalize changes to Governance Model Develop a National President succession plan that provides better on-the-job training for the incoming president
Goals Create 21st century leadership model that illustrates the Navy League’s advocacy mission and enhances mission success Ensure continued connectivity with the regions and councils Create a better defined line of succession that enhances the continuity and effectiveness of future volunteer leaders
Goals (Continued) Better define the roles of the National Vice Presidents, giving responsibility and authority for the broader strategic direction and success of the NLUS Improve participation of National Officers (NVP, NCS, NT, NJA, & RP) in Governance of the NLUS Enhance the involvement of regions and councils in Governance of the NLUS at the national level
Current vs. Proposed Delegates Current: • National Directors Proposed: • National Delegates elected by Regions. • Useprocess similar to Operations Manual for National Directors in current model. • National Delegates to be seated by members at annual meeting. • National Delegates duties compared to National Director’s duties in subsequent slide.
Succession to National President (current) National President-Elect Does not function as a true President-Elect Must stand for election to National President (NP) at annual convention where the NP term ends Incumbent NP calls Fall BOD meeting to elect a National President-Elect
National President-Elect Proposed Solution Rename NP-E to SVP (former name, changed in 2003) Elected to one-year term at annual convention Benefits: National Delegates only need to attend 1 meeting annually Removes confusion regarding accession to NP Should provide for better qualified NP candidates May have 2 SVP candidates seeking to become National President Other qualified candidates can also be considered by NATNOMCOM
Delegates How will we elect National Delegates? Nominated to REGNOMCOM by councils and region members through their councils Approved by Region President Seated by members at Annual Meeting
How do duties compare? Delegates vs. NDs • Bylaws will generally be approved by the BOD but some bylaws related to mission, cost • of membership or distribution of funds to councils will be identified for delegate approval.
Region President on BOD (8 total)(2 per Greater Region, which includes RPWG Chairman) EASTERN REGIONS Greater Region “C” – Southern Regions • Caribbean • Florida • Southern • South Atlantic Total membership – 12,135 Greater Region “D” – Northeastern Regions • Mid Atlantic • Liberty • Empire • New England • European Total membership – 11,255 WESTERN REGIONS Greater Region “A” - Western Regions • Northwest • Pacific • Pacific Central • Pacific Southwest Total membership – 15,075 Greater Region “B” - Central Regions • Rocky Mountain • Mid West • Lone Star • Great Lakes Total membership – 8,065
What’s Next? Recommend Board of Directors approve the Governance Model Concept. NP to task the Bylaws Committee to develop proposed Bylaws changes that will reflect and implement the new Governance Model for presentation and approval at the Fall BOD meeting.
