Some are exceptional in there offerings and some are trivial. The ones which tend to mean more to the people who run them (you know, pride, caring, quality, all of those things that are supposed to be important) are those which usually take the most work and time.

In either case the best way to judge the worth of any organization is to look at its record and see what forms of tangible evidence make it worthy of note.
