The CEO 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 CEO.

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