About this Q&A with the Experts:

Nothing is more important to the health and stability of your organization than the Board-CEO partnership. A core component of building and maintaining a healthy partnership is ensuring your CEO is supported throughout the year and that the entire board participates in conducting an annual CEO evaluation. This work is led by the CEO Support & Evaluation Committee. In this session, we’ll show you how to run an evidence-based evaluation that supports your CEO and strengthens your partnership.

We hope you enjoy the session!
