WPIRG

Staff Evaluations provide valuable feedback for the staff member and WPIRG as a whole. Your time and insights are greatly appreciated.

Please find attached a staff evaluation for Erin Oldynski, WPIRGs Coordinator of Programming and Volunteer Support.

During a new staff members interim period, it is standard procedure to carry out a staff evaluation. Volunteers are not required to complete the attached evaluation, but you will provide valuable feedback for Erin and for WPIRG as a whole.

Please take your time in completing the evaluation, and return no later than September 10th, (electronically if possible) to jonathanafrank@gmail.com. If you choose to fill it out in hard copy, you may wish to provide more space between questions. Hard copies can be returned to a drop box in the office.

Everyone’s responses are confidential and anonymous, but please provide your name at the bottom for the Evaluation Committee’s (Jonathan Frank and James Law, WPIRG Board of Directors) organizational purposes.

Thank you very much for your time!

Peace,
Jonathan and James, on behalf of the WPIRG Board of Directors.
