Event Description
Selecting an executive director is a key role of a nonprofit board of directors, but it doesn't stop there! Regular evaluation of the executive director can not only ensure that an organization's mission is being met and that the person at the center of the organization feels supported, but can also provide an opportunity to clarify expectations about the need for strategic decision making – especially important in challenging economic times.
Last month, we talked about hiring an ED. In this session, we'll answer your questions about evaluating the ED, including:
- How do I evaluate someone who may know more about our organization than me?
- When and how often should we evaluate?
- How do you find a balance between micromanagement and no management?
- How can the evaluation process be a true partnership?
You'll get to hear from TACS consultant Carol Cheney and experienced EDs about what is most helpful in an evaluation. We'll share tips, checklists and samples that will help you maneuver this important task.
