SAE Sections Board Top-Tier Measure Measuring the relevance of sections and the satisfaction of local members
Goals • Measure the relevance of local sections and their programs • Measure member satisfaction with these services • Create a new top-tier measure for the Sections Board
Strategic Plan End The Sections Board will provide all local SAE units worldwide the tools necessary to understand their members' needs and to measure member satisfaction with local activities and programs. These tools shall also enable the Board to generate a “top-tier measure” of member attitude toward local sections Measures The Sections Board will measure its progress toward this end through a “top-tier measure” of member attitude toward local sections. This measure shall be a single number, reflecting the combined importance of, and satisfaction with, local programs. Action Plan The data needed for these measures will be gathered through yearly section Member Interest Surveys that contain consistent questions for members in all local units.
Measuring Attitudes • Fishbein’s Multiattribute attitude model • “Attitude” = Sum(Importance x Satisfaction) • “Importance” and “Satisfaction” are measured through several attributes, rather than a single question for each evaluation. • Members are asked to rate 11 section programs and services (Scale of 1 to 5)
