Evaluation of Programs/Officers

[James]

There is a science experiment: If you put a frog in warm water and very gradually heat it, the frog won't notice the heat increasing until its boiled! That's assuming it notices when its dead.

Obviously, this applies directly to organizations: if you don't have a way of evaluating your chapter or its officers you won't notice that things are going badly until the end of the year when a lot of things didn't get done or the quality was less than it should have been.

So the question: We all throw around things like so and so is doing a good job and so and so is not. What usually makes you come to that conclusion? And is it specifically in your By-Laws? And what do you do about it?

Pick two or three officer positions and think about it.
