End 2: Membership The ALOA Board has specified in the governance policy that we have sustained membership retention and growth as the recognized industry leader in providing education, training and a voice for locksmith security professionals. In keeping with our governance, high ethical standards and the best interests of our membership at large, we take the fol- lowing actions in support of our goal: 1. We measure the potential membership universe, major seg- ments, their wants, needs and preferences as they relate to joining industry membership organizations. We identify why potential members do not join ALOA and what is required for them to join. This process transpires year round by sur- veying convention and training center students, non-student convention attendees and prospects from purchased mailing lists and license boards. 2. By including a questionnaire on membership renewal in- voices and receipts, we have the ability to develop a compre- hensive membership profile of why they are members, what they value and why they do or don’t renew membership. In addition, we are able to identify and track trends. 3. Membership drives, campaigns or other targeted initiatives aimed at acquisition and/or retention of members are care- fully craſted and implemented. 4. Screening and other activities (such as background checks) are performed to prevent illegitimate and/or unqualified ap- plicants from becoming members of the organization and to WWW.ALOA.ORG The association carefully crafts and implements membership campaigns and drives to increase its member roster. remove from membership — via due process — those who violate our code of conduct/ethics. 5. Specific strategies and action plans (including ownership, pro- cess steps, due dates and deliverables) are created to be consis- tent with and in support of the Strategic Plan. These provide a high level of accountability and keep us focused and on track. End 3: Operating Efficiency The ALOA Board has specified in the governance policy that: 1. The association should have continuous development of new avenues of communication with members, prospective members, industry-related associations, security hardware distributors and manufacturers. a. The goal is accomplished by the association and its divi- sions by participating year-round in conferences, trade- shows and local meetings, as well as by members of the board holding positions on various industry boards and contracting training at events other than those operated by ALOA or its divisions. 2. Consumer awareness should be promoted regarding indus- try-related changes, advancements and available consumer benefits offered by the industry. This occurs: a. each month in official ALOA publications, Keynotes and Safe & Vault Technology; b. in the weekly edition of the e-newsletter, which is delivered directly to members’ email addresses; and c. through direct communications such as press releases.
