The net result is a strategic plan that over 6,500 people have directly contributed toward. My buzzword on the day when we held the strategic plan with the branch delegates was "engaged". The engagement of the SSAA NSW membership is the reason we have such a strong advocacy position and is the reason we can achieve such a consultative strategic plan. I am very pleased and proud of the engagement that has got us to this point, and I hope that you feel the same way about the strategic plan that has been produced. The short version of the strategic plan will be presented to your branch executive very soon. The importance of this strategic plan is the direction it gives your board, and the strategic plan is the core of how we develop the business plan and the budget for SSAA NSW in the future. Member Survey As mentioned above, the member survey was conducted to support input to the strategic plan and to gain knowledge of the member's satisfaction, what they would change, and how they thought SSAA National was performing on their behalf. Our previous research was quite an extensive piece of research conducted six years ago and there are some similarities, but there are obvious places where improvement has been made. The research was broken into sections, one section to find out what members like or dislike about what we're doing currently, and a second section to find out what members are prepared to pay for.
