Safety Programs: The Good, The Bad & The Indifferent

I am studying the methods that gliding clubs and organizations employ
to enhance safety in their operations. I plan to make a short
presentation on this topic at the Soaring Safety Foundation-hosted
safety meeting in Reno, Nevada, on Wednesday February 1 2012. Does
your soaring organization have regular (monthly, semi-annual, annual)
safety meetings/programs? If so, what occurs in those meetings? Are
the meetings/programs effective in achieving a safer environment for
your organization? Is there any follow-up after the meetings/programs
to measure their effectiveness? Do you feel that you benefit from any
of the programs? Do you have suggestions to make safety meetings and
programs more effective?

Please post responses to this topic here on r.a.s. and let us all know
what you think. Pilots from all countries are welcome to contibute.
Thanks!/Danke!/Merci!
