STAR (Strategies to Achieve Results)

STAR is RMA's new chapter management system. It replaces the Standard of Excellence program.

  • Use the form as a guide to plan your year.
  • Assign ownership for key areas of the form to board members/committee chairs.
  • Hold board members/committee chairs accountable; set dates for accomplishment.
  • Periodically review progress toward the plan.
  • Be sure to accomplish the minimum required level of basic activities.
  • Try bonus activities; try innovative things.
  • Celebrate accomplishments.
  • Send your STAR with your Plan column completed, and with your planning report, to HQ by September 30th.
  • Send the final form to HQ by July 31.
  • Plan to send someone to the Annual Conference to receive your award!
