ORGANIZATIONAL RESOURCES
The relationship between an organization's voluntary Board of Directors and the senior staff person in the organization, such as the Executive Director, CEO, General Manager, Artistic Director, etc., is one based on a clear understanding, mutual respect and support that lead to a relationship of trust. However, the relationship is also one that can go wrong with serious consequences to the organization and the audiences its serves. Learn more about why and how Reviewing the Executive Director Performance is an important part of an organization's Good Governance.
