CEO/Executive Director Evaluation Policy for Nonprofits

The Organization’s CEO or Executive Director Evaluation process not only evaluates the CEO or Executive Director’s annual performance, but it also importantly establishes the annual goals and directs organizational resources in support of the CEO or Executive Director’s professional development. At its best, a strong evaluation can reinforce the relationship and communication between the Board and the CEO or Executive Director]. An effective CEO or Executive Director Evaluation should be continuous, forward-looking and clarifying. Although at times, CEO or Executive Director Evaluations may identify poor performance, an effective evaluation process will ultimately promote the Board’s overall approach to fulfilling the Organization’s mission by ensuring effective leadership.
