The Extension County Council is expected to provide one form for each regional faculty headquartered in the county.
The information provided should be a compilation of the county council as a whole. The completed form is to be signed

the council meeting at which the form is completed should contain a motion approving the completed form.
It is suggested that a copy of this form be provided to each council member for each employee to be evaluated so that they
can make their own notes, but only one combined form is to be submitted to the regional director.

period of time. Performance is measured by results. Please review the position description and county plan of work as
background for your assessment on his/her performance.

Regional Director.
