1. P&S and ASPR Enhancements
Melissa Tata
Holli Pheil – SPC Chair
Cathy Pieronek – SPC Chair-elect
Sept 21, 2010

2. Desired Outcomes
Approve updated P&S form and selected FY11 P&S to evaluate
Approve leveraging same P&S form for strategic initiative ideas submissions and process to call for submissions
Decide if we want to add a question on P&S relative member importance to membership survey

3. P&S Goal of P&S template update
Understand full impact of program in terms of labor resources (inc. staff) and # members affected
Add more specifics on cost and revenue generation of programs
Distribute template for people to submit “potential strategic initiative” ideas with some quantification
Goal: more member understanding of how we can invest in our future
Goal: potentially more engagement if members want to participate in driving their ideas
Allow one template for proposed and current programs
Review strategic initiative ideas as part of P&S assessment to drive more consideration of programs to discontinue if they’re not as beneficial as some of the new ideas
Likely very few proposals for 2010 due to aggressive timeline
Ideally we will publish a prioritized list of the strategic initiatives submitted

4. Potential Strategic Initiative Idea
Members,
The Strategic Planning committee would like to get your ideas for new or improved programs and services that could help enable our 4 strategic objectives (below).

6. ASPR
Add question to membership survey to have more data on member priorities to use in budgeting process
Goal: evaluate which services members are willing to pay for and/or value the most and provide members more visibility to all services we offer
Add questions to survey on each program and service SWE offers  
Next step: distribute same question to other potential members to see what they would pay to have or what would make them want to become a member
Supplemental option is to use data from conference registration where registrants select reason/interest for conference
Action: need someone to compile descriptions.
When will the survey go out and can we add this question this year?

7. Draft Survey Question – to be rewritten by marketing
Please rank the relative importance of these SWE programs to you with 1 being the most important. Please also indicate if you knew SWE had this program and if you’ve participated in it. If we were to charge more for services/programs than general membership, which services would you be willing to pay for and how much?
