Board of Trustees Policy

Purpose

Recognizing the importance of exceptional leadership throughout Montgomery County Community College, and that each us, our institution, and the people it serves benefit professionally and personally from constructive reviews of how we exercise our responsibilities, the Board of Trustees establishes this policy on presidential and board assessment. In doing so, the Board acknowledges the importance of meeting its responsibilities, with the President, for effective College governance and leadership. The Board also recognizes the importance of regular performance review throughout the institution and sets this policy to set a standard and model for overall institutional review.

Policy

1. The Board shall review the President's performance annually.
   This process shall be elaborated in a separate procedural statement and periodically revised and brought to the Board for approval. The Board Chair, the Personnel Committee and the President shall lead this process.
   
   
2. The Board shall conduct a self-study of its stewardship every three years.
   This process shall be elaborated in a separate procedural statement and periodically revised and brought to the Board for approval. The Personnel Committee will recommend to the full Board the appropriate format for the self-assessments. The Board shall commit at least to one-half day to this process of self-study.
