How will the board agree on the criteria for the evaluation? What will be evaluated?
The purpose of the performance appraisal is to evaluate how well your executive director does his or her job. Personal issues are not part of the evaluation. A sound performance appraisal process focuses board members’ individual expectations into a unified set of board expectations for the executive director’s performance. Keep in mind that the dialogue required to create a common set of performance criteria encourages board members to articulate their unspoken expectations, and to agree upon what comprises successful performance by the executive director.
