Local elected boards and their county and municipal managers work interdependently to lead and govern their communities. To be successful, both parties must have a common understanding of their roles and responsibilities, be clear in defining expectations, and know how they will be held accountable. Regular, constructive feedback is important to meeting community expectations and assuring that both the elected and appointed officials are working towards common goals. Participants who complete this program will learn how to develop a successful board self-assessment and manager evaluation process, customize an evaluation process that works for their jurisdiction, and how to avoid common pitfalls.

This course is 9:30AM until 4:00PM.

Attendees:

This focused, practical course is designed for new and experienced municipal council members and county commissioners. Other members of your governing team, including your manager, clerk, and attorney, are encouraged to attend.

Program Topics:

Clarifying expectations for public managers and governing boards
Selecting and constructing evaluation tools for managers and boards
Planning and sequencing the evaluation process
Avoiding common pitfalls with performance evaluations
