Where did this come from? I looked around the KZYX web site and did not see this, nor did I find the agenda for Monday's meeting BTW. <div><br></div><div>Programs and programmers are supposed to come under yearly review according to the current Station Handbook. This is standard operating procedure at most community radio stations and is not meant to be Orwellian, just a way to increase production value.</div>
<div><br></div><div>One of the major aspects I really liked about the PAC was that it gave transparency to this process in order to ensure objectivity.</div><div><br></div><div><span></span>Doug</div><div><br></div><div>

<div>The two evaluation forms for
programmers were developed by the Program Advisory Council in
2007. The PAC put in a LOT of time and effort developing those.<br>
<br>
The one for Staff & Board is new to me, and it looks like a
rough draft. Who developed it, and who would use it? If it's a
serious effort and there is an actual process to apply it, then it
should be reworked to be more usable. <br>
<br>
The purpose of program evaluations was to improve the quality of
our locally-produced shows. The Program Director wanted some
objective way of identifying which programmers needed improvement,
and of communicating that to those programmers. I think the hope
was that such a process would diffuse some of the angry and
defensive reactions expressed by some programmers against the PD.<br>
<br>
Not sure what the purpose of a Board-member evaluation would be;
isn't this what elections are for?<br>
