Board Adopts PSAI Policy for Globalization By Ron Crosier, PSAI President CONTINUED FROM COVER… Through the Strategic Plan the Board adopted in March, we tasked her to help us "Re search, develop and implement an international mission - business model that extends the PSAI's influence in a manner that is revenue - neutral or better." I am pleased to tell you the Board has now adopted, on behalf of the global PSAI membership, the follow ing approach to meeting this goal. It is the policy of the PSAI to encourage groups of Members in countries outside the United States to form nation - specific or market - specific work groups for the purpose of assisting the PSAI in understanding local needs and supporting M embers' efforts to extend the PSAI mission in those places. The following guidelines apply to how this policy will be implemented under PSAI auspices : • All Members of the work group must own/work for paid PSAI member companies. • A Chair who will be the official contact person and liaison with the PSAI must be named. S/he will also serve on the PSAI's International Advisory Council. • The objectives and activities of the group must be transparent to the Executive Director and the Board of Direc tors for purposes of coordination and alignment with PSAI's overall strategic objectives. • The PSAI staff will support the group to the extent that it supports any other PSAI committee, provided the objectives of the group have been reviewed and approved by the Board. • The group may use the PSAI name/logo – and represent their activities/work products as being on behalf of the PSAI – when given leave in writing to do so following review by the Executive Director or Board as appropriate. Absent this permission , the activities of the group are not PSAI activities and may not be represented as such. We are confident this approach will serve us for the long term. While the global situation is constantly evolving, so is the PSAI. We expect this approach will suit the organization well for the foreseeable future, and will assist us in staying on top of things that may be emerging in key markets. If and when our policy needs to be adjusted in light of changing circumstances, we will do that. International Advisory Council For now, Jake Groen of PolyJohn Canada (Supplier/Board Member) and Mike Rice of A - Throne (Operator/Global Traveler/Past PSAI President) have agreed to co - chair the International Advisory Council – and all international Members are invited to partic ipate. International Members can expect to hear from Jake and Mike over the next few months. They expect to hold a meeting of the Council at the 2015 Annual Convention a nd Trade Show in Nashville, and the Board of Directors hopes to see our international m embers there! www.psai.org 800 - 822 - 3020 info@psai.org PAGE 1
