Evaluating Manager and Board Performance

Discount available for groups

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

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.
