Abstract	Presidential evaluations--especially annual evaluations based on presidents' self-assessments--have become much more prevalent, as part of accreditors' expectations for institutional accountability and for many other reasons. More recently, some experts, including the Association of Governing Boards, have been making the case for a comprehensive presidential evaluation at set multi-year intervals, drawing on the results of annual evaluations. Experience has shown that a periodic evaluation of the president can become a decisive opportunity for a board itself to reach higher levels of performance. Indeed, presidential assessment provides the occasion for the board to deepen its understanding of the president and the organization, to connect and integrate elements of its own responsibilities, to intensify its engagement with the institution, and to broaden its influence in shared leadership. In this article, the author discusses the forces that have increased the importance of evaluating presidential effectiveness and the trend toward documented presidential assessment, which is seen as one of the central aspects of board accountability. The author also discusses the board's responsibilities in the evaluation of the president. (ERIC).
