Strong organizations set goals at the start of each year and assess progress at the end.
- At the start of the year, set 3–5 goals. Good goals are specific, measurable, and meaningful (e.g., "Recruit 15 new active members by October 15" rather than "Grow membership"). Discuss with your adviser.
- Mid-year, check in: are you on track? What needs to change?
- At the end of the year, debrief: which goals did you hit, which didn't you, and why? Document this for the next leadership team — it's one of the most valuable things you can hand off.
