1.4. Monitoring Executive Director Performance

The Executive Director's job performance wil be monitored solely against the expected job outputs, which are organizational accomplishment of Board policies on Ends and organization operation within the boundaries established in the Board policies on Executive Limitations. Accordingly:

1. Monitoring simply determines the degree to which Board policies are being met. Information that does not address the achievement of Ends or the avoidance of Executive Limitations is not monitoring data.
2. The Board will acquire monitoring data by one or more of three methods:
1. Internal report, by which the Executive Director discloses compliance information to the board.
2. External report, by which an external, disinterested third party selected by the Board access compliance with Board policies.
3. Direct Board inspection, by which a designated member or members of the Board assess compliance.
3. The standard for compliance shall be any reasonable interpretation by the Executive Director of the Board policy being monitored.  The Board will judge whether data demonstrate accomplishment of the interpretation.
4. All polices that instruct the Executive Director will be monitored at a frequency and by a method chosen by the Board.  The Board can monitor any policy at any time by any method, but will ordinarily depend on a routine schedule.  The schedule and method of monitoring will be listed with each Ends and Executive Limitations policy. The monitoring reports will include the policy, a statement of compliance or non-compliance, and supporting evidence for the statement.
