Unit leaders are encouraged to use this Matrix to evaluate the current practices of the Unit to the standard association management best practices. This tool can be used to evaluate and adjust current practices, set new goals and focus on Unit operations.
If your Unit is applying to be a part of the Unit Advancement Program (UAP), a completed matrix assessment is required in the application. At minimum, this should be completed collectively by your presidential line.
