The SMP is a section management model that has been developed to assist sections in their planning and implementation of services and programs that will meet the needs of current and future members.

Total Quality is one of the highest levels of achievement in SMP for the 2006-7 fiscal year. Sections that reached Total Quality proved their dedication and commitment by developing a Business Plan that provides valuable quality programs and services to their members and achieved at least 75% of these set objectives.
