<div>Mark Perkins posted the attachments in
an e-mail here. I don't know where he found the two from the PAC,
and I suspect he (or someone else) just made up the one about
staff and board.<br>
<br>
I don't think the programmer evaluations have been used since the
PAC fell apart, but I could be wrong. You are correct that we are
supposed to be reviewed yearly, and I hope we return to that. <br><span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888">

<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

<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>
