General EvaluatorDescriptionThe GE conducts the all important evaluation portion of the meeting where each speech is critiqued by another club member. Since there are generally 3 speeches, there will be 3 evaluators giving 2 – 3 minute evaluations. At the conclusion of the speech evaluations, the GE evaluates the entire meeting taking into account what went right, what went wrong and how the Club might improve.
