The President is the Board’s only link to operational achievement and conduct, so that all authority and accountability of staff, as far as the Board is concerned, is considered the authority and accountability of the President.

1. The Board will never give instructions to persons who report directly or indirectly to the President.
   
   
2. The Board will refrain from evaluating, either formally or informally, any staff other than the President.
   
   
3. Since the President is accountable for operational achievement, the Board will view President performance as identical to organizational performance. Therefore, the President’s job description is to accomplish a reasonable interpretation of Board-stated Ends and comply with a reasonable interpretation of Executive Limitations.
