This class takes place at the Central Pines Regional Council in Durham from 9 a.m.–3 p.m.

Boards and managers work interdependently in leading and governing their communities. To work together successfully, both parties must have clear and shared expectations about their respective roles and how they will be held accountable. Regular, constructive feedback ensures that both parties do their part to meet community expectations. Participants who complete this program will learn how to develop a successful evaluation process and avoid the pitfalls common with board self-assessments and manager evaluations.

Attendees:

This focused, practical course is for municipal council members, county commissioners, and managers. Other governing team members, including your clerk and attorney, are also 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

This is a Local Elected Leaders Academy 201-level course. Elected officials earn five recognition credits for participating.
