You're confusing "ultimate control" and micromanaging.  The ARRL Board
doesn't need to use LoTW to judge its effectiveness (tho' it certainly
wouldn't hurt) any more than the board of the company I work for needs
to use all the services we provide.
That's why the ARRL has a CTO (and why the company I work for has a
similar position).

As for it being "mandatory" ...  come on, be serious.  What about 10
GHz?  Should that be mandatory for directors because the ARRL
publishes a band plan for 10 GHz?  Should the directors also be forced
to by all ARRL publications just because the ARRL publishes them?
