By asking procedural questions about the communication between executive committees and board members, this slim volume addresses the role of presidential positions in higher learning facilities. Atwell (American Council on Education) outlines the responsibilities of an effective executive body, and how these positions are recruited, evaluated and supported by the board. The structures of boards, contractual obligations and public communications are discussed specifically for the benefit of these governing boards. (Annotation ©2008 Book News Inc. Portland, OR)
