PROPOSED MOTION

Whereas, the Windsor-Essex County Board of Health is responsible for the oversight, evaluation, and accountability of the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and the Medical Officer of Health (MOH); and

Whereas, a formal performance review process supports effective leadership, clarifies expectations, promotes continuous improvement, and strengthens organizational governance and transparency; and

Whereas, the Governance Standing Committee is mandated to support the Board of Health by recommending processes related to Board governance, including the evaluation of the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and the Medical Officer of Health (MOH);

Now therefore be it resolved that the Windsor-Essex County Board of Health directs that a formal performance review of the CEO and the MOH be undertaken in 2026, using a structured evaluation framework, as outlined in the Narrative 360 Overview, to be conducted by an external consultant (GID Consulting), and that the review be initiated no later than August 2026 with findings and recommended outcomes reported to the Board for consideration at the September 24^th Board of Health meeting.
