A meeting of the Executive committee of the Board of Trustees of Northern Michigan University was held on Thursday, July 19, 2007.  It was convened by Acting Chair Brian D. Cloyd at

11:45 a.m.  Participating were: 

            Brian Cloyd, Acting Chair                  Douglas B. Roberts

President Wong's goals for 2007-2008 were reviewed.  It is recommended to increase emphasis on growth of FYES for Fall 2008.  A draft of the revised goals will be provided to President Wong.

The document titled, "Potential Executive Competencies for the Role of University President" was reviewed as a development tool for President Wong. While the document was completed last year by President Wong, the Board of Trustees did not comment on assessing the competencies.  It was agreed that the revised document would be distributed to board members for comments and to be returned by September 10, 2007.  It was noted that this tool's primary use is for determining developmental opportunities for President Wong and is distinct from performance measures.

Mr. Cloyd adjourned the meeting at 12:46 p.m.
