One hundred and fifty-two (152) participants were involved in this review. Fifty-nine were interviewed in face-to-face conferences and ninety-three participants, identified through a random sample process, completed questionnaires.
The performance questionnaire targeted the following areas: Strategy and Priorities, Leadership, Relationships With Constituencies, Financial Management, Fund-Raising and Future Positioning. The questionnaire was based on a Likert scale of 1-5, with 1 being Strongly Disagree and 5 being Strongly Agree. The questionnaire results indicated that the respondents agreed or strongly agreed with President Brown's focus/performance in the six areas mentioned above.
The accomplishments identified here are the reports and perceptions of conferees. An accomplishment or perceived accomplishment is not listed unless it has been mentioned at least two times during the course of interviews.
These perceptions were shared by conferees in response to the question, “What personal attributes do you believe the President brings to his position.”. These responses are reported here verbatim or virtually verbatim. To appear here, an attribute had to be mentioned at least two times.
