Rationale For Transition To Regionalization Decrease the size and complexity of the National Board of Directors 62 members to 17 members Reduce the number of communication channels Improve transition as new leaders come aboard Reduce expense associated with quarterly meetings The organization will save $160k per year by transitioning to a small NBOD Evolve and grow managers to leaders Drive greater accountability, influence and leadership at local level Increase value add benefit for our sponsor companies by group member skills Increase focus on local organizations Leverage Regional VPs to drive execution of national strategies at local level Increase membership So why did we decide to transition to a Regional organization structure. The reasons are as follows: Streamline the National Board of Directors in terms of size and communication channels and improve the transition process as new leaders come on-board Second, we have the opportunity to save $160,000 by having fewer people attending the NBOD meetings. This will help us with our reduce our expenses and positively impact our overall budget. Third, one of the benefits associated with BDPA is professional development and growth. Individuals who step up for this role will have a great opportunity to grow their skills, helping them be more valuable to BDPA and their companies. Fourth and finally, the regional structure will enable our leaders to provide more focus at the local level around understanding and executing BDPA strategies. The NEC is very excited about this transition and looks forward to realizing these benefits over the next two years.
