monitor progress - performance measures, so we, and the membership know what's working, and what's not.
I think this is one of the most critical components of a successful launch of a "New TRA"
In the past, there has been justified concerns about the integrity of motor certification, funds management, etc. As a result, member confidence (and size) has suffered, credibility has been damaged, the organization has flirted with serous liability on a number of fronts.
A program of both oversight and performance-monitoring seems imperative.
Oversight, to insure that
- principals, committee members, volunteers and contractors conduct themselves with a high level of integrity
- elections, committees activities, referendums, etc. are conducted in an honest and open fashion
- policies implemented represent and protect the interests of the current and future membership
- relationship with external organizations and the public reflect favorably on the organization
- both vendors and members do not suffer discrimination
- operations generally conform to the "best practicies" possible. etc.
Performance monitoring, to insure that
- principals, committee members, volunteers and contractors are competent and productive
- the effectiveness of every program is known
- the "value proposition" of all investments is known
- projects or activities not performing to specific standards are reviewed, revised or referred to committees for cancellation (subject to referendum)
