** Goals and Vision
*** TODO Question One :documentation:original:new:new:
#+begin_quote
Describe your chapter’s progress against the three stated goals that you 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?

** Leadership
*** DONE Question One :original:new:

: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]

: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. What is one example
of your best communication strategy and what is one that you need to work on?
Documentation could include screenshots of Slack, newsletters, etc.)
#+end_quote
*** DONE Question Seven :original:new:
CLOSED: [2022-11-29 Tue 18:14]
:PROPERTIES:
:OWNER: Edward Stump
:END:
#+begin_quote
Does your chapter maintain an active judicial board to field grievances and
render remedies? If so, how is it used in general and how many cases have they
heard over the last year? Are the range of remedies considered meaningful enough
to change behavior where necessary? 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.

#+end_quote
Our chapter is supported by the Delta Sigma Phi Building Association. It is
governed by the alumni Board of Directors (BOD). The responsibilities of
property management are shared between the undergraduate house manager and the
graduate property manager who serves on the Board of Directors. The propoerty
manager and house manager communicate at least once a week via either text,
phone, or email. Communication also happens more frequently if needed, such as
in the case of an urgent repair.

What is the current system for making requests for repairs and who is involved?
Is there an established budget for regular maintenance? If so, what does it go
towards? How could the process for repairs or maintenance be improved?
#+end_quote
Requests for repairs go through the House Manager. It is up to his discretion
how and when it is completed. 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).

The exterior of the property is maintained year round. The lawn is trimmed in

Does your chapter have written procedures in place to ensure the chapter
facility is kept clean? These guidelines and regulations should include methods
for enforcement, maintenance, and upkeep, and how responsibilities are shared
equally between chapter members. Please provide documentation.
#+end_quote
The chapter is kept clean via a system of House Jobs. 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.

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.

Does the chapter require members to sign a formal agreement to reside in the
facility (such as a lease)? If so, how far in advance is the agreement signed?
#+end_quote
The chapter does require members to sign a housing agreement form that indicates
whether or not they will be on housing and if so, for which terms. 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.
