have been focusing on for the past calendar year. For each goal, carefully read the instructions and fill in the table below with relevant, supporting documentation. #+end_quote *** TODO Question Two :documentation:original: #+begin_quote Describe your chapter’s planning meetings or goal setting sessions to promote/establish your organization’s goals and shared vision. How are general members a part of this process, if at all? How does the chapter ensure that all general members support the goals and vision? How are these goals visited throughout the year by the leadership team and chapter through retrospectives or satisfaction surveys? #+end_quote ** Leadership *** DONE Question One :original:new: CLOSED: [2022-11-28 Mon 13:55] :PROPERTIES: :OWNER: Ryan Saklad :END: #+begin_quote Describe your organization’s election and transition timeline for each newly elected officer, including how officer documents are maintained and shared. #+end_quote Elections for officers are held in mid B-term, and are installed early in D-term. Between those times, there is a transition period, where the old officer trains the new one. Further, for members of the Executive Council, the last Exec meeting before new officers are installed is a “transition Exec”, where the outgoing officers give advice to the new ones, and the Exec black book is updated. As with most documents for the chapter, Google Drive is the storage location for documents needed for managing the associated office/position. Drive’s Edit/Comment/View permissions are used to ensure the relevant people can edit documents pertaining to their roles, while minimizing the potential for accidental damage to other parts of the drive. *** DONE Question Two CLOSED: [2022-11-28 Mon 13:57] :PROPERTIES: :OWNER: Ryan Saklad :END: #+begin_quote How does your chapter deal with elected officers who study abroad (IQP, MQP, HUA, etc) or go on co-op? #+end_quote The term prior to the vacancy, an election will be held for an interim officer, with 2 weeks of nominations, and the other procedures involved with the standard election process. *** DONE Question Three CLOSED: [2022-11-29 Tue 18:13] :PROPERTIES: :OWNER: Edward Stump :END: #+begin_quote How are expectations of each leadership position communicated to the chapter (i.e., Roles & Responsibilities) during the Election process? How is the leadership team held accountable for the expectations set forth for each position? If a leader is not meeting expectations, how is this resolved? #+end_quote The expectations of each leadership position are available to every brother in the bylaws of the chapter and by expectations they set for themselves during their election process. If a leader is not meeting any of these expectations, any brother may make a motion of no confidence and the chapter may elect to remove the leader from their position. *** TODO Question Four :original: :PROPERTIES: :OWNER: Shawn Finnigan :END: #+begin_quote Describe a time when conflicts and/or disagreements (outside of judicial action) were handled and resolved when they occurred among the chapter leadership team? #+end_quote *** DONE Question Five :original:new: CLOSED: [2022-11-29 Tue 18:13] :PROPERTIES: :OWNER: Edward Stump :END: #+begin_quote Describe how the chapter leadership prevents division between the officers and members at large, and ensures that every member feels included. #+end_quote The executive board has weekly meetings which are open to any brother. This allows not only for brothers with concerns to take part in executive conversations but also allows brothers involved in running for a future position the ability to get more involved. In addition, the role of the Member at Large is to be the voice of all brothers on the executive council. If any brother has concerns that they want to be brought to the executive council, they can reach out to the Member at Large. The Member at Large also votes for what he believes the house wants. *** TODO Question Six :original:documentation: :PROPERTIES: :OWNER: Zevulun Lieberman :END: #+begin_quote Describe the way your chapter communicates with one another.

If your chapter does not have a formal board, is there another judiciary process? If so, please explain. Note: It is not required to share individual private case details, only the process by which cases are heard. #+end_quote The executive council is the body that fields grievances and renders remedies. In general, it is used to fine brothers for not fulfilling responsibilities such as house jobs. The council can also hear cases of interpersonal conflicts and give fines depending on the situation. Suggested fines are detailed in the bylaws of the chapter. This answer is similar to last year's as the role of the executive council has not changed. ** Committees :PROPERTIES: :OWNER: Conor Dolan :END: *** TODO Question One :documentation:original:new: #+begin_quote Briefly describe your chapter’s committee system at a high-level, including how members and chairs are selected, how tasks are delegated, and how committees report back to the larger organization.If the chapter does not have official committees, how do you split up the shared chapter work so that all responsibility does not fall to one position or member? #+end_quote *** TODO Question Two :PROPERTIES: :OWNER: Reily Siegel :END: #+begin_quote For each committee your chapter has, please fill in the table below.

Repairs are completed by the House Manager or another brother under the supervision of the House Manager, or in some cases an outside contractor. More urgent repairs happen first. There is an established budget for regular maintenance. This budget goes toward things such as replacing light bulbs, patching drywall, and furniture repair to name a few. The House Manager also runs a “Bounty Board” where any brother can post a repair that needs to be made and another brother can take that job and complete the repair to earn himself house job points (point system explained in subsection 3 question 3). *** DONE Question Two :original:new: CLOSED: [2022-12-02 Fri 18:31] #+begin_quote Does the chapter maintain the exterior of the facility at all times of the year including summer including lawn maintenance, fences, parking lots, and checking the mail? #+end_quote The exterior of the property is maintained year round.

The standards for these jobs can be found in [[file:documentation/Facilities/Facility Maintenance/House Jobs Standards 2022.pdf][House Job Standards 2022]]. These standards are enforced by Assistant House Managers. Jobs are completed twice a week by brothers on Tuesday and Thursday and are signed off by Assistant House Managers. The house is also cleaned top to bottom on Sundays at what we call “Work Party”. House Jobs are assigned based on individuals’ point totals. Brothers receive points for completing House Jobs and lose points for incomplete jobs. Jobs are assigned to the 32 individuals with the LEAST points. Point tracking is done in a spreadsheet [[file:documentation/Facilities/Facility Maintenance/House Manager Points.xlsx][(see documentation: House Manager Points.xlsx)]]. Rules surrounding living in the house that extend outside the House Job Standards can be found in AXP DSP House Rules. *** DONE Question Four :original:new: CLOSED: [2022-12-02 Fri 18:46] #+begin_quote How does your chapter manage members who do not fulfill facility/maintenance responsibilities? #+end_quote The chapter will fine brothers who do not complete House Jobs or miss “Work Party” without an excuse. The fine is brought to a meeting of our Executive Council. If the voting members of the Executive Council pass the fine, a punishment is decided upon by all in attendance at that meeting of the Executive Council. Punishments vary based on severity of the infraction and regularity of infractions. They could be another house job, monetary fine, or asked to assist with a house repair. ** Chapter Communication and Expectations :PROPERTIES: :OWNER: Connor Wirsing :END: *** DONE Question One :original:new: CLOSED: [2022-12-02 Fri 18:46] #+begin_quote Does the chapter require members to sign a formal agreement to reside in the facility (such as a lease)?

These agreements are to be signed by all brothers/new members by the end of B term prior to the year they will move in. This gives the BOD ample time to secure additional housing if needed for the following academic year. *** DONE Question Two :original:new: CLOSED: [2022-12-02 Fri 18:47] #+begin_quote Do you have a member agreement for in-house culture, expectations, and responsibility for members? #+end_quote We do not have a member agreement, however by being initiated as a brother, one is expected to follow expectations and adhere to the responsibilities of the brotherhood. Should a brother start to repeatedly clash with the rest of the house or ignore their responsibilities the issue will be brought to the undergraduate executive council. *** DONE Question Three CLOSED: [2022-12-02 Fri 18:51] #+begin_quote Does the chapter require members to provide a deposit to live in the facility?

Nothing should be taken from the room either. However the House Manager holds the power to approve room additions/subtractions/alterations. Any changes should be noted on the move-in/out paperwork. The move in/out paperwork can be found in the [[file:documentation/Facilities/Chapter Communication and Expectations/AXP DSP Room Condition Form.pdf][AXP DSP Room Condition Form]]. *** DONE Question Five :original:new: CLOSED: [2022-12-02 Fri 18:52] #+begin_quote What policies or processes are in place to hold members accountable for damage to the property? #+end_quote Our chapter does have policies for damage done to the property, which require Brothers to repair or pay for damage caused, and pay additional fines if the damage was caused intentionally.
